The police have recorded over 35 people so far in connection to Sushant Singh Rajput’s Suicide case. Family members, actors, friends and co- workers have been questioned.

“Other than them, a few journalists working for Bollywood portals have been questioned and the cops sought information on the sources through whom the stories had come in.

The police have been probing the case from financial, professional rivalry as well as personal angle in order to find the reasons behind the actor’s extreme decision.  

Sushant Singh Rajput, who is critically acclaimed for his work in the films ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ and ‘Kai Po Che’ among others, was found hanging at his Bandra Residence in Mumbai on June 14.
