Siddharth Pithani likely to turn witness in Sushant Singh Rajput case, CBI to record statement under Section 164 CrPC

In a significant development in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is expected to record Siddharth Pithani's statement under Section 164 of CrPC. As per reports, he has been summoned again as a part of the same as a witness. He was earlier questioned multiple times by the agencies.If media reports are to be believed, Siddharth Pithani is currently under the CBI’s radar and is constantly monitored. As per Republic TV, he might have already reached Delhi for the proceedings. Pithani had earlier made numerous claims in connection with the late actor. He also stated that Sushant fainted after having heard the news about Disha Salian’s demise. Meanwhile, the central agency is reportedly going to impose Section 302 that stands for a murder charge in Sushant Singh Rajput’s probe.
 

The latest development comes after the late actor’s family had said expressed concern over the ‘slow pace’ of the CBI probe into SSR’s death. The recording statement under the above-mentioned CrPC Act assumes significance as it becomes admissible in court. Meanwhile, SSR’s father KK Singh on Wednesday met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar at the latter's official residence in Patna. During their meet, Singh thanked the CM for recommending a CBI probe into SSR's death. On the other hand, the Forensic Department of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), which has been roped in by CBI to give a medico-legal opinion in the case, still needs to look into some legal aspects before reaching a "logical legal conclusion".Sushant Singh was found dead in his apartment in suburban Bandra in Mumbai on June 14. He starred in several films like ‘Kai Po Che’, ‘Kedarnath’, ‘Sonchiriya’ and ‘Dil Bechara’ and others.
