The NCB recently arrested Sushant's flatmate Siddharth Pithani from Hyderabad in connection with the drugs probe. Now, Vikas Singh, the lawyer representing late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's family, has called, Siddharth Pithani, arrest a poetic justice. Speaking to ETimes, Singh said, "I have been saying this for a really long time that he should be arrested and the reason being he was there with Sushant when Rhea Chakraborty went away and the day Sushant was found dead. Siddharth was the one who opened the room and he was the one who called the locksmith and was the one to lower the body of the actor, so he is very crucial to the case in every which way, whether it is murder or abetment to suicide he will definitely be involved in it."
The actor was found dead in his Mumbai home on June 14, 2020. The Mumbai Police after an initial investigation ruled the death a suicide. The case was taken over by the Central Bureau of Investigation following a huge public outcry. The NCB and the Enforcement Directorate are also carrying out separate probes. About the CBI's ongoing investigation, he said, "CBI would not like to rush into filing a chargesheet or filing something, which will boomerang on it. They are looking at several angles and murder is also one of them. You see SSR’s death is still shrouded in mystery and there are no two ways about it. Unless you unravel the mystery there is no point in telling a half baked story and that is the reason they are taking their own time and I am quite hopeful something will come out soon." Sushant's family accused his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty of abetment to suicide and misappropriation of his funds. She has denied the accusations till date.
