On the other hand, police are continuing their investigation on Sushant’s death and are looking closely into the angle of ‘professional rivalry’. In fact, according to a report in Pinkvilla, Mumbai Police have written to Yash Raj Productions (YRF) and asked for copies of the contract with Sushant. Police had also questioned his PR manager. The probe has been started after many claimed that Sushant might have been murdered to the lack of work might have pushed the actor to take such a drastic step.
