In a fresh development in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) which is probing the late actor's mysterious death, has dismissed the reports claiming that the agency may file the closure report soon, calling them 'speculative' and 'erroneous'.
In third such statement since registering an FIR in the case, the central investigating agency termed as speculative stories related to its finding in the matter.
"The CBI continues to investigate the death of Sushant Singh Rajput."
“There are certain speculative reports in media that the CBI has reached a conclusion. It may be reiterated that these reports are speculative and erroneous," CBI spokesperson R K Gaur said in a statement.
The agency had taken over the FIR filed on the complaint of KK Singh, Rajput's father, at a Patna police station alleging criminal conspiracy, abetment to suicide, wrongful confinement, criminal breach of trust, theft and criminal intimidation, which was forwarded to the Centre for a CBI probe.
Rajput, aged 34, was found hanging from the ceiling of his apartment in suburban Bandra in Mumbai on June 14 and since then, the Mumbai Police has been probing the case taking into account various angles.
Earlier, AIIMS forensic medicine experts had ruled out any foul play in the actor's death.
In its conclusive medico-legal opinion to the CBI, the six-member team of forensic doctors had dismissed the claims of "poisoning and strangling" made in the case.
The development comes a week after Rajput's live-in partner, Chakraborty, was granted bail by the Bombay High Court in drugs case. Chakraborty and her family members had been booked by Bihar Police for allegedly driving Rajput to suicide before the case was transferred to the CBI.
She was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in September in connection with a drugs case arising out of the investigation into Rajput death case.
