Sandip Ssingh Opens Up About His Ordeal, Says "I Stood With My Friend’s Family, That Is Not A Crime"

Sandip Sssingh had been one of those people who happened to arrive first at Sushant Singh Rajput's house, along with Mahesh Shetty, after the actor's death. In his interviews, he had revealed what unfolded and how he had arranged for everything. But that also made him come under the scanner when the family said they did not know who he was and that Sushant had never mentioned him. He chose to stay silent, but now, he has opened up and decided to address the allegations that are being levelled against him.

He did share chats with Sushant's sister regarding the ambulance yesterday. Now, in an interview, he has also talked about why he has been silent and the ordeal that he had been facing. Talking to BT, he said, "My friends, mom and family reprimanded me for being there for Sushant’s family. They said, “You have made a mistake by going there. You should not have gone there. Tune to aa bail mujhe maar wala kaam kar diya. Baaki industrywale, his friends are intelligent, but you are an emotional fool to go and help.’ I got scared. I want to make films and I have a career ahead. So, I became quiet. But for the last 20 days, there are media people with cameras outside my building, as if I am some fugitive. I am trying to lead a normal life, I continued with my movements, but people have crossed their limits." He added that if there would have been any link of his with Sushant's death, then he would have been called by the investigating authorities and he is also prepared for that. Addressing rumours that he is planning to flee the country, he said, "Why should I flee the country? I stood with my friend’s family, unlike others who chose to stay indoors. That is not a crime!"

He also revealed how difficult this entire phase has been like. He said, "There is pain and anger. I am suffering and I know what I am going through. My family is asking me to leave this industry and work somewhere else. My mother and sister have suffered in silence. People are hitting my car when it gets out of the compound. The society is asking me to vacate my flat. People have tried to barge into my house with cameras. For what? What have I done? Lot of people know what I have done, why can’t they speak up? Everyone is waiting for me to break my silence. I did that twice. This is the third time. Talking to the press, it feels like I am in the Supreme Court answering questions. I feel like I’m facing a trial. I have spoken the truth, and I am still answering allegations which are baseless, levelled by people who seek publicity. I will definitely take legal action against those people who have troubled me for no reason."

The CBI is currently investigating Sushant's death while the Narcotics Control Board is looking at any drug angle that might be involved.
