The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has officially given actress Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik Chakraborty, and their family members a clean chit in the high-profile Sushant Singh Rajput death case. The CBI’s closure report, submitted after four years of investigation, concluded that there was no evidence of foul play in the tragic demise of the late actor, who was found dead in his Mumbai apartment in June 2020 at the age of 34. The news has relieved the Chakraborty family, who have endured intense scrutiny and legal battles since the incident.
Showik Chakraborty Speaks Out
Breaking his silence for the first time since the CBI’s decision, Showik Chakraborty took to Instagram on Saturday evening to express his emotions. Posting an old video featuring himself and his sister Rhea, Showik captioned it with the poignant phrase “Satyameva Jayate” – meaning “Truth alone triumphs” – accompanied by a folded hands emoji. Meanwhile, Rhea Chakraborty has yet to make an official statement.
The road to this moment has been tumultuous for the Chakraborty family. Following Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, Rhea and Showik found themselves at the center of multiple investigations. In September 2020, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested the siblings in a drugs-related case linked to Rajput’s death. Rhea spent 27 days in judicial custody before being granted bail, while Showik faced a longer period of incarceration.
Rhea Chakraborty’s Lawyer’s Statement
Rhea’s lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, addressed the CBI’s closure of the case in a statement that shed light on the harrowing experiences endured by his client and her family. “Rhea was jailed for 27 days despite no fault of her own. I salute her and her family for having kept silent and yet suffered the inhuman treatment they were meted out,” Maneshinde said. He revealed that the case came to him through close friends, including defense personnel with whom he studied at Sainik School, and lauded the resilience of Rhea’s family and his legal team in the face of adversity. “Both Rhea’s family, my team, and I were hounded and threatened with danger to our lives. I must say nothing deterred us from carrying out our legal duties,” he added.
The CBI’s decision marks the end of a nearly five-year-long saga that gripped the nation, sparked debates about mental health, justice, and media trials, and left an indelible mark on those involved.
