Sushant Singh Rajput death case: CBI gives clean chit to Rhea Chakraborty, finds no financial foul play

Almost five years after Sushant Singh Rajput's death, in March 2025, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed its closure report in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case before a Patna court, giving a clean chit to his former girlfriend, actor Rhea Chakraborty.

The CBI had submitted its closure report in both the cases - one that was filed by Sushant’s family in Patna against Rhea and her family for abetment of suicide, and the counter case filed by Rhea against Sushant’s sister and family in a Mumbai court.

As per CBI's closure report, Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide, and Rhea Chakraborty and her family were acquitted of all charges. The CBI investigation found that between June 8 and June 14, 2020 - the day Sushant’s body was found at his Bandra apartment - none of the accused individuals were living with or were present near Sushant. Rhea and her brother Showik Chakraborty had left Sushant’s house on June 8, 2020, and did not return to his flat afterward.

The report further states that Sushant last spoke



to Showik on WhatsApp on June 10, 2020. However, there were no calls or communication between between Sushant and Rhea via messages or chats from June 8 to June 14. The CBI also didn't find any evidence of any meeting or contact between Sushant and Rhea or her family during that period.

Shruti Modi, who formerly managed Sushant, had stopped visiting his flat in February 2020 after suffering a leg fracture. Sushant’s sister, Meetu Singh, briefly stayed with him at his Bandra apartment between June 8 and June 12, 2020. However, the investigation didn't find any evidence of any of the accused instigating, pressurising, or threatening Sushant to take his own life.

As per a CBI report, when Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik Chakraborty left Sushant Singh Rajput's house on June 8, she took along her own belongings - including an Apple laptop and an Apple wristwatch that had been gifted to her by Sushant.

The investigation did not find any evidence of Rhea taking away Sushant’s property or belongings without his information.
