Why a Bollywood celebrity manager's 2020 death case has been reopened

But weeks later, his actress girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty was arrested following accusations from Rajput's father that she had contributed to his suicide. He also denied that his son had any mental health issues. Following outrage, Sushant's case was also handed over to the CBI which, last year, closed the case, saying he had indeed died by suicide and that neither Chakraborty nor her family had a role in his death.In the FIR Satish Salian has registered with the CBI, he has alleged that the deaths of Disha and Rajput are linked.Getty ImagesActor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his home less than a week after his manager Disha Salian's deathDisha, he says, shared with the actor "incriminating and objectionable information concerning alleged drug trafficking, child abuse and other unlawful activities" involving a former minister and some others and the two intended to hold a press conference to bring it into the public domain."In order to prevent that and protect the persons involved, a well-orchestrated criminal conspiracy was hatched. The victim was gang raped and murdered, and thereafter evidence was suppressed /fabricated and a false story of suicide was created to cover up the crimes and shield the accused."In its order, the court said that registration of the FIR "does not imply any finding of guilt against anyone" and that no-one shall be treated as an accused unless the investigating officer finds "sufficient grounds to raise reasonable suspicion against them".But as the FIR names some of the state's top politicians, police officers and Bollywood actors, the case has dominated headlines in India amid allegations of misuse of political power, denials and claims of political vendetta.
