CBI to summon eyewitness who saw Sushant and Rhea together the last time on June 13

In a big disclosure, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will summon an eyewitness who claims to have seen Sushant drop Rhea Chakraborty at her apartment on June 13, a day before he died. Rhea had told the agency that she left SSR's residence on June 08 after which they didn't meet each other. Now, according to Republic TV report, a witness saw the 'Raabta' actor dropping Rhea early in the morning, around 6-6:30 am. The report further adds that Sushant was driving alone and there was no driver. Quoting the neighbour, the report said: “The person told me this in June itself before any of this had gone to CBI or even before Rhea had said anything. The person had said, ‘Oh! he passed away, I had just seen him drop her off on 13th evening.’ Nothing was known at that time that what else will come up. I have not seen anything and yes, I am Rhea’s neighbour.”

After Sushant’s death, the Mumbai Police began investigating the case. Later in July, the father of the late actor filed a FIR in Patna, accusing Rhea of abetting his suicide, misappropriating his funds and keeping him away from his family. The CBI began looking into the case after a Supreme Court verdict. Meanwhile, the ED and NCB began probing financial irregularities and a drugs angle in the case.

Few days ago,  AIIMS forensic team submitted their report to CBI on Sushant's death. The forensic report dismissed the claims of "poisoning and strangling", with Dr Sudhir Gupta saying the panel did not find any trace of poison and drugs in the viscera. On the other hand, Mumbai Police Commissioner, Param Bir Singh stated that the FIR that Rhea Chakraborty filed against the family members of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput on September 7, is currently with the CBI for investigation. Also, the Bombay High Court will be announcing the decision on the bail pleas filed by Rhea, her brother Showik and three others who were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).
