Sushant Singh Rajput Case Update: After years of investigation, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has finally filed a closure report on the tragic demise of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The agency has officially ruled out any foul play and confirmed suicide as the cause of death in its final report submitted on March 22, 2025.

What Does the CBI Report Say?

The CBI's detailed closure report has put an end to numerous speculations and conspiracy theories that surrounded the actor’s sudden passing in June 2020. The key findings of the investigation include:

1. Suicide was the cause of death – No external pressure or involvement was found.
2. Rhea Chakraborty and her family have been cleared of all allegations.
3. No criminal conspiracy or foul play was detected in the case.
4. AIIMS forensic team ruled out murder after thoroughly examining the evidence.
5. Social media interactions and digital records were analyzed internationally, and no evidence of tampering or coercion was found.

Background: What Happened to Sushant Singh Rajput?

Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Bandra apartment on June 14, 2020. Initial reports suggested suicide, but the case quickly turned controversial, with the actor’s family raising serious allegations against his then-girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her associates.

The case was first handled by the Mumbai Police before being transferred to the CBI following public outcry and a Supreme Court ruling in August 2020.

Family's Allegations and Legal Battle

Sushant’s family had accused Rhea Chakraborty of abetment to suicide, financial fraud, theft, and wrongful confinement. They filed a case in Patna, Bihar, which led to jurisdictional conflicts between the Bihar and Mumbai police. Following Bihar’s government request, the CBI officially took over the case in August 2020.

AIIMS Report and Medical Examination Findings

A special forensic team from AIIMS Delhi conducted a detailed post-mortem review, dismissing the theories of poisoning or strangulation. The AIIMS report aligned with the CBI's conclusion, reinforcing that Sushant’s death was due to suicide.

What Happens Next? Can the Family Challenge the Closure Report?

Even though the CBI has filed a closure report, Sushant Singh Rajput’s family still has the option to challenge it in court. They can file a protest petition in a Mumbai court if they believe the findings are incomplete or incorrect. If dissatisfied, they can also approach a higher court for further investigation.

For now, the CBI’s report brings a formal closure to a case that shook the entire nation and sparked widespread debates about mental health, nepotism, and the darker side of the film industry. However, it remains to be seen whether Sushant’s family will accept the findings or push for further legal action.
