"Never said Sushant was murdered" : Ankita Lokhande on Sushant Singh Rajput's death

Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s former girlfriend Ankita Lokhande on Wednesday claimed that she never said Sushant was “murdered” but wants justice for her “late friend” and family.Following Rhea’s arrest, Ankita tweeted, “Nothing happens by chance, by fate. You create your own fate by your actions. That’s Karma.”Now Ankita has opened up about her reasons to stand with Sushant’s family and shared a statement on her social media handles.“I again clarify, for the reason time and again being asked by the media to me on whether I feel it’s a murder or suicide? I have never said it’s a murder or anyone in particular is responsible. “I always have encouraged justice for my late friend SSR and stood by the bereaved family and truth should be brought out by the investigating agencies,” Ankita wrote in her statement.

Rajput, 34, was found dead in his Bandra apartment in Mumbai in June. His death sparked a political row and debate on mental health.Lokhande also said that many people have called her names but she never responded to anything and came forward to speak about Mr Rajput when they were together."I only came forward to narrate about SSR and his mental health till 2016," she added. Addressing her "haters", Ms Lokhande said Ms Chakraborty was the closest person to the actor and so she should not have let him consume drugs.The actor said that on one hand, Ms Chakraborty was coordinating with Mr Rajput's doctors regarding his health issues, but on the other hand, she was "coordinating drug logistics for him"."Would anyone, who claims to have loved someone so deeply, allow the other person to consume drugs claiming to know his mental state and condition? Would you do that? I don't think anyone would. So how can it not be seen as an act of carelessness and irresponsibility?" Ms Lokhande claimed. The actor also raised questions as to why Mr Rajput's family was not informed about his depression as well as his issues with drugs. Lokhande said she will continue to support, Rajput's family in their quest for justice.
