Mumbai Police Says Sushant's Family Too Late To Say ‘Did Not Understand Content Of Statements' Due To Language Barrier

The Sushant Singh Rajput case has been going on for over 2 months and yet there's no closure. After the deceased actor’s father filed an FIR against Rhea Chakraborty and her parents for abetting his son's suicide, things took a U-turn and now, with the CBI investigating the case, newer and murkier revelations are coming to the fore.  

 Sushant Singh Rajput’s father had said in a statement to Mumbai police that his son had committed suicide due to dejection. The statement with the police read, “I am not aware as to why my son Sushant has committed suicide. He never discussed with me regarding any type of depression or tension. I do not have any suspicion of or any complaint against Sushant. I feel that Sushant might have done suicide out of dejection. My statement was written in Marathi and explained to me in Hindi and it is correct as I told.” 

However, Sushant Singh Rajput’s family lawyer, Vikas Singh, during a press conference held yesterday on 2nd September, ‘20, said, "The family has never said that Sushant died by suicide due to dejection. These statements were recorded by the Mumbai Police in Marathi. The family also objected to it and asked the authorities not to write in Marathi, if they want them to be signed. But they were forced to sign the statement. They had no clue what had been written in Marathi." 

And now, according to an India Today report, Mumbai Police said during a press conference that the statements of Sushant’s three sisters and his father were recorded in the presence of late actor’s brother-in-law and Faridabad Police Commissioner OP Singh, another brother-in-law Siddharth Tanwar and his wife Priyanka Singh (both of them are Supreme Court Lawyers) 

Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer said that the statements were recorded 2 and a half months ago and that now it is too late for them to say anything, “The statements were made two and a half months back before the police on June 16, 2020. Those statements were explained to the sisters and till today there have been no complaints. Now it is too late in the day to say ‘I did not understand the content of those statements.’ Investigation in every state takes place according to state language.”
