Sushant Rajput Death Case: CBI said it is conducting investigation in a professional way
The CBI has termed media reports attributed to it on its probe into the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput as "speculative and not based on facts", in the first official statement from the agency on the case on Thursday.
In the statement issued late evening, the CBI said it is conducting investigation into Sushant Rajput's death in a systematic and professional way.
"Certain media reports attributed to CBI investigation are speculative and not based on facts. It is reiterated that as a matter of policy, CBI does not share details of ongoing investigation," the agency said.
"CBI spokesperson or any team member has not shared any details of investigation with media. The details being reported and attributed to CBI are not credible," it said.
Sushant Rajput, 34, was found dead at his apartment in suburban Bandra in Mumbai on June 14.
The CBI had filed an FIR (First Information Repot) taking over the probe from Bihar Police into the alleged abetment to suicide case filed by the actor's father KK Singh in Patna against Sushant Rajput's friend Rhea Chakraborty and her family.
Sushant Singh's father in his complaint to Bihar Police had alleged that Chakraborty along with her family members had misappropriated Sushant Rajput's wealth, which was denied by Rhea Chakraborty in TV interviews.
The CBI Director has handed over the probe to the special investigation branch which is camping in Mumbai and has recorded statements of Rhea Chakraborty and her family members, met police and visited the crime scene.
