He also added that the Mumbai Police has this as part of his recorded statement. Earlier, statements of five psychiatrists were recorded by Mumbai Police. These include Kersi Chavda, Perveen Dadachanji, Harish Shetty, Nikita Shah and Susan Walker, and each of them had confirmed that Sushant Singh Rajput suffered from severe depression. Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide on June 14.

Chavda's statement once again brings the focus back to the fact that Sushant Singh Rajput did in fact suffer from severe depression. The Mumbai Police's preliminary investigation suggested that depression possibly drove him to kill himself, even as Sushant's family and several others are reluctant to accept the same. Sushant died on June 14, the second week of June, while Rhea Chakraborty, his live-in girlfriend left his Bandra, Mumbai home on June 8.
