Senior
advocate
Vikas
Singh,
the
family
lawyer
of
late
Bollywood
star
Sushant
Singh
Rajput,
on
Monday
expressed
surprise
that
there
has
been
no
custodial
interrogation
of
suspects
by
the
CBI
in
the
sensational
death
case
when
there
is
mystery
involved.
Responding
to
the
statement
of
Central
Bureau
of
Investigation
(CBI)
officials
that
the
probe
is
continuing
and
all
angles
are
being
looked
into,
Singh,
said
if
they
are
looking
into
all
the
aspects
then
they
should
have
done
custodial
interrogation
of
the
named
accused.
“I
am
a
little
surprised
because
if
they
are
looking
into
all
the
aspects
then
they
should
have
done
custodial
interrogation
of
the
named
accused
and
also
of
the
people
who
were
living
at
his
residence.
Why
have
they
not
done
custodial
interrogation
till
date.
Wherever
there
is
mystery
involved,
custodial
interrogation
is
required
in
such
cases,”
Singh
told
PTI
on
the
death
anniversary
of
the
actor.
The
34-year-old
actor
was
found
hanging
from
the
ceiling
of
his
apartment
in
Mumbai's
Bandra
on
June
14,
last
year.
Mumbai
Police
investigated
the
case
till
the
probe
was
handed
over
to
the
CBI
by
the
apex
court.
The
top
court
had
last
year
invoked
its
extra-ordinary
plenary
power
under
Article
142
of
the
Construction
while
handing
over
the
probe
surrounding
circumstances
of
Rajput's
unnatural
death
and
had
said
"When
truth
meets
sunshine,
justice
will
not
prevail
on
the
living
alone
but
after
Life's
fitful
fever,
now
the
departed
will
also
sleep
well.
Satyameva
Jayate."
The
probe
agency
has
not
yet
filed
the
charge
sheet
or
the
closure
report
in
the
death
case.
Singh,
who
is
also
the
Supreme
Court
Bar
Association
President,
said
if
the
CBI
is
getting
any
leads
it's
really
good
but
nothing
concrete
has
happened
till
now
even
after
one
year.
"Custodial
interrogation
is
required
in
cases
where
mystery
is
involved," the
senior
advocate
stressed.
When
asked
about
the
delay
in
filing
of
the
charge
sheet
in
Rajput's
case,
Singh
said,”
It's
difficult
for
me
to
comment
on
the
delay
in
the
investigation
and
filing
of
the
charge
sheet.
Maybe,
they
are
wanting
to
break
down
the
witnesses
slowly
so
that
they
might
get
some
leads
somewhere."
The
CBI
earlier
in
the
day,
said
that
the
probe
into
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
is
still
continuing,
even
after
the
AIIMS
medical
board's
report
last
year
that
had
said
it
was
a
case
of
suicide.
Asked
about
the
developments,
CBI
officials
said
the
probe
is
continuing
and
all
angles
are
being
looked
into.
The
CBI
had
taken
over
the
probe
from
Bihar
Police
into
the
alleged
abetment
to
suicide
case
filed
by
the
actor's
father
K
K
Singh
in
Patna
against
Rajput's
girlfriend
Rhea
Chakraborty
and
her
family.
