CBI files closure report in actor Sushant Singh Rajput death case

The CBI has submitted its findings before a special court in Mumbai which will now decide whether to accept the report or order further probe by the agency.

Rajput, 34, was found hanging in his apartment in suburban Bandra in Mumbai on June 14, 2020.

The central agency had taken over the probe in August 2020 from Bihar Police which had registered an abetment of suicide case on a complaint filed in Patna by his father K K Singh.

In its conclusive medico-legal opinion to the CBI, forensic specialists at AIIMS had dismissed the claims of "poisoning and strangling" made in the case, the PTI report added.
