It was only last month that the NDPS court had rejected the bail plea of Sushant Singh Rajput’s flatmate and friend Siddharth Pithani once again. His lawyer, Taraq Sayyed had confirmed this development. The NCB had filed a 12,000-page charge-sheet in the case in March this year. It had listed 33 witnesses in all, which also featured actor Rhea Chakraborty, Sushant's rumored girlfriend. It had the statements of over 200 witnesses. Rhea Chakraborty and many other members of Sushant's staff like Samuel Miranda, Dipesh Sawant, had been arrested in connection with the case. They are out on bail now. The Enforcement Directorate probed the financial cheating allegations against Rhea Chakraborty and the others. Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14 2020 and since then a lot of speculation has been made about his sudden death. Three central agencies, the Central Bureau of Investigation, Narcotics Control Bureau and Enforcement Directorate are investigating the case.
