when Rhea shared the excess the father to stop talking with his son
everytime, so if they were talking say more frequently earlier
she cut down the frequency and most of the time it use to come most of time in predicts or other
first time Sushant Singh Rajput has started taking some medicines
his family doesn't know what medicine he was taking
don't know what medicines he was taking which doctor she was going to
she conjured situation where she could
sort of make him feel that there is something wrong with him and taking him to a doctor
and she use to always threaten him that I'll make her medical report public
so that was the threat where he could not take any strong action
first she is hiding, I know where she is hiding I don't want to tell you that
but she is hiding
we came to know that 17 crore came into the account and 15 crore went out
you must appreciate that not a single property was brought
not any big car purchased or any big purchase so where did all this money go
Sushant Singh Rajput's death shock waves in the nation and industry
at large,people have been asking and calling out for justice for Sushnat
and we have his family lawyer Vikas Singh joining us in conversation on PINKVILLA
presenting his side of the story and his family side of the story
welcome sir to PINKVILLA and Thankyou for doing this
it is much needed at this hour specially
sir firstly I want to ask you that the FIR that has been filed by Sushnat's father
you were the one who was involved in FIR that is been filed
it completely gave the case a new angle and not what was being investigated
and now it's in the other direction where it's been called abendment to call suicide
what was Sushnat's father claims and how would you put it out, as a lawyer
well, I will tell you in this case on 25th of February itself
the family had messagesd the DCP Bandra
that Sushant Singh is in bad company and those message you must have seen it is out since
and action should taken and it should be sure that no harm is cause to him
now the Mumbai police is saying that we have asked for written complaint
and the written complaint didn't come and we could not take any cognitives
now this written complaint business was completely alien to criminal law
because every crime that is committed , crime is against the state
it is not job of anybody to ask to register a case it is a job of state to register the case on it's own
now when the crime is committed whatever the source may get the information is in material
the moment they know there is client that is lightly to be committed
or is actually committed the state on it's own has to register an FIR
so when the death ultimately happened which was what the family you know
had said that he is in danger , we didn't realize that he will commit suicide
that was which was not in comprehension of family at all
so when the death happened now that complaint 25th February complaint
the only logical thing for police was to do was to investigate the people who are responsible for the death
which is what the family had said on 25th of february
and I'm so glad family didn't make complaint to Mumbai police then
because they were not getting co operation from Mumbai Police, so there was no point making complaint to them
and in those 40 days when the father was in warning
they saw that everyone from Bollywood is gone for interogation or investigation
and the actual people who were part of eco system of Sushnat Singh Rajput
who easily as a common person even you and I as layman
can say that they are people who should be examined first I mean
they were the person who were living with them people controlling his medicines
and Rhea leaves him on 8th of June and blocks him
so those are the people or Disha Salian's death if it had link with Sushant Singh Rajput's death
those were the thing which were to be investigated
Mumbai Police doesn't registers a FIR starts a inquest now inquest in 174 is only to find out the cause of death
and to find out if there is any suspicious circumstances
so even for inquest Bollywood can;t be called
there is no way you can call the whole of Bollywood and examine them as if
they are all involved in a , if there is a available offence there is no need of offence getting inquest
now in inquest if you don't do inquiry regarding people who are around him that Pathan
who was suppose to be there when he saw hanging etc
then the family contact and they realized that Mumbai will never give them justice
was appears to be conclusions, so we got the FIR register in Patna
now there after what you have seen happened is complete mockery of criminal justice system
the police firstly has not given any co operation , so you don't FIR the case yourself and
and you don't call police from Patna
now since day before yesterday what has happened is absolutely shocking
in this entire pandemic, I've not seen any chat impeeding or
forbitting for income tax for doing a raid or CBI doing a raid or Police doing a raid
because the moment you do that in the garb of covid, in the garb if quarantine
you're directly wanting to help the accuse, because who will stand to benefit
if the Patna police is not able to investigate for 15 days than the accuse will get more time to temper the evidence
so it was a very clear case where you could make out that Mumbai Police is going
from right from 25 February onwards till today
it is more than obvious that they don't want a fair inquiry
but sir I want to know, just one last thing
so then I adviced the family there is no point of getting onto this interstate conflict so
because the CM Patna had already assured that if Father of Sushant Singh Rajput
once refer the matter to CBI will do it so then we thought
yesterday night, today morning we thought of that we will ask the CM to refer to CBI
and hopefully CBI will take over
Sir also what I want to know is that when you are asking that they had filed a complaint
the family had filed a complaint on 25th of February
you've been talking to the family because they are breathing
they have lost a family member which is painful
I want to know what have they told you, what circumstances led them
to believe that his life was in danger back then in February
yes so in offence of amitment of sucide it was not an offence which happens over a day
it involves a bundle of facts \
now the bundle of facts started in this case when
when Rhea stopped the excess to talk with father and the son
so every time he wants to so they were talking frequently more earlier
she cut the frequency and most of the time refuse to come on line some predicts
when we use to talk for some bodyguards phone number even that was not allowed to go through
so that was the first step the second step was to remove all the servants and the bodyguard and the cook from the house
third step was taking over the bank accounts, credit cards the pin numbers and etc
fourth step was starting for the first time, Sushant Singh Rajput started taking some medicine the family doesn't know
what medicine he was taking , which doctor she was going to
so she conjoured up the situation where she could make him feel that there is something wrong with him
taking him to the doctor, so when she started doing that
then she started using him for her own career benefit
she said of you want , she use to say this in every meeting when production house use to come
she use to say he will act only if you take me in the lead opposite him
so she slowly took control over his mind and his affairs and started dominating him in such a way
that the medicine that was being register upon him that control became even bad to worse
it is ultimately on 8 june when he felt he want to do organic farming and wanted to take a break
that she realized that he is of no use to it
I think that may be the trigger point from what his family has told me that can be a trigger point
and she walked out of his house, took medical report and she use to always threaten him
that she will make his report public so that was the threat which he could not take action against her
so she locked away took the medical files and blocked him so he became more anxious
so I think what all medicines he was going all this will come in investigation
when he was going through all of it
he could see or feel Rhea was legit dominating his life
did he reach out to any of family members or his friends
have they come out and spoken to you about it
he definitely reached out to his family members, family members tried to interead also
there was a time he came to his sisters house in Haryana and staying sometimes
but after 2 days only she made such a big racus that there is some advertisment or some shooting comittement
you must come back so that girl use to make 20-30 phones in his absence and every minute make a phone call to him
when she left him on 8 june so she blocked him
now in Supreme court in petition she says it went for couple of days
she's gone for couple of days whom she tell what medicine she is taking did she hand over the file to family members
did she talk to him in those 8 days in the call record it shows she didn't call after 14
because she had blocked him so I mean the story she is making out is completely untrue
now the worst thing which we are aprehenting is the FIR that is registered
facts are coming out that probably it may not be case of suicide also
I don't only if proper investment is done because there are now stories going around
post mortem was done not done properly
and normally what happens in suicide case by hanging that eye should pop out frouth of the mouth
all that was not there in the body so I don't know it is very serious case and it
has complete sort of diverted by the Mumbai Police and we are very anxious that the
proper investigation is done in the matter
there were also rumors that rhea ran away
but today I heard that Bihar Police is going to talk with her today
and going to take Rhea's statement is this true
well I don't think Patna police is at the stage to give any statement because
3 members there are already
No, rhea's statement they are suppose to take, I know
Rhea statement question will not arise because
first she is hiding of course I know where she is hiding I don't want to tell you that, but she is hiding
but Patna police cannot reach there because Patna police one member has been quarantine
day before yesterday and the earlier team which is already there
trying to quarantine them also they are look out for them
so I don't think Patna police is in position to do any more investigation
that is why the urgency for getting matter refer to CBI today itself
we don't want to lose a single day
Sir there has been lot of financial transaction written about in FIR
I read that FIR, family has alleged there has been transaction of around 17 crore if I'm not wrong
but now fresh reports I read some new channel which has been telling
referring to transaction to some around 50 crore
what is the truth if you can
Of course thing will come out in investigation because
the family had no interest in his financial and he was person 34-35 years old
so he was definitely manageing his own affairs,
Mumbai Police was trying to derail the investigation the whole of Bollywood and not even doing proper inquest
they were suppose to do under section 174 of CRPC
cliff of finances during his stay with Rhea and
we came to know that 17 crore came in to the account and 15 crore went out
now you must appreciate that not a single property was brought
not any big car purchased or any big thing purchased so where did this money go
and the way it has come out in media that she has been using his credit card and
she knew the pin number so obviously there is some financial
as far as 50 crore is concerned I think that 50 crore is for 3 year period
so that also have to be investigated but that is I think for 3 year period
the 1 year period is 17 crore incoming and 15 crore outgoing
so one year is exactly how long Sushant and Rhea have been together for one and half years
according to the friends who have stayed with both of them is it true
yes almost one year little over one year
there have been lot of inconsistancy in the statements given out by few of his friends
whether it's Sandip Singh who initially came and alleged that it's a suicide and
he was undergoing depression he said it in a way in interview that it's out all there
then he went on Arnab Goswami show and he said no he cannot commit suicide
then he was Sidhart Pitani who walked out of interview when he was asked boiling questions
and there has been lot of inconsistansy in the statements who got him out what was the first one to enter the room
when he was hanging how he was hanging, he was hanging tilted towards the bed
what is all that what has come to your notice
well I'll tell you honestly I would not like to comment on that because these are very serious matter of investigation
and my saying anything on this will have some verification so I will not comment on that
I would like and my wishlist would be the CBI take over this investigation immediately \
and get into all this immediately because ultimately what they are able to find out
in their investigation because Mumbai Police is covering up it's a cover up job from their side
so the earlier they do the better it is
I want the family to get justice by truth coming out and
person responsible for his death be in amendment to suicide whether it be murder
whatever it is it should be taken but I won't comment on what you are asking me
okay sir also I want to ask you , you have spoken about the medication he was prescribed
we have not seen doctor's document but few psychatrist and psychologist have come out and spoken about
also in similar fashion Sidhar Pitani has gone and given a statement that he was
the one who use to administer the medicine to him and
he didn't know what medicine they were, do you see that inconsistancsy
do family had any clue given to their child or their brother
not at all in fact that is our complaint in FIR
that family was never consulted and if a person id having any mental issues
there is 2017 act for that
and if person has mental issue or that is called mental health care
in that case family has to be consulted before you get into serious medication and
in this case we were not aware of any medical condition
Sushant he may be vulnerable because he was extremely disturbed his mother died in 2002
that's it there was never any problem in mental issue and
ho ever has known him Ankita Lokhande had said she knew him for very long time
or people who knew him even when he came to family recently
there was no issue with mental health
so it was all manufactured taking control over him
when was the last time his family actually spoke to him
there was Neetu singh with him in those 3-4 days
in last 3-4 days before his death what was the thing she was talking to about
from Sushnat side also Sidhart Pitani after yesterday
which you said brother in law reveal the whatsapp exchange
there are complaint in 25th February
Sidhart Pitani send series of whatsapp chat
which show that brother in law send text to Sushant Singh
you have been extremely vulnerable this is because of your bad company and everything
so don't put me and my wife in this picture
what to say on that and when did last Sushant had last spoekn to family
well again these are issues I would not like to comment
but in a family relationship if family feels that he is in bad company
so what basically he meant was that is not something really important for investigation
if you don't remove bad people than at least my wife you tell me
because he is a police officer he can tackle things
don't put trouble wife has been in so much of distress
so it was not a situation that there was any sort of attribution
they wanted that the more earlier he left Rhea and earlier she went off his life
earlier he would come back to normal that were the family
and what about Sidhart Pitani
he's already said he is doing a flipflop and I don't know how did Mumbai Police allow him to
go to Hydrabad and with all the flipflops
with most important witness
he really needs to be interogated with Rhea
Thank you
