Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput’s death on 14 June, his father K.K Singh had been maintaining a stoic silence.
However, a shocking development happened yesterday when his father filed an FIR against Rhea Chakraborty and her family and Sushant’s manager Shruti Modi with allegations of abetment to suicide, cheating and conspiracy.
The FIR has been lodged under IPC sections 341 (punishment for wrongful restraint), 342 (punishment for wrongful confinement), 380 (theft in dwelling house), 406 (punishment for criminal breach of trust), 420 (Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) and 306 (abetment of suicide).
K.K Singh has levelled some serious accusations at Rhea – from using Sushant to establish herself, embezzling 15 crores, keeping Sushant from his family, threatening to finish him off and reveal his medical records to media. He has also expressed his displeasure at Mumbai Police’s poor handling of the case.
As reported by Mumbai Mirror, here is the complete 7-Page FIR filed by Sushant’s father:
My son Sushant Singh was, till May 2019, doing very well in the acting profession. During this time, a woman named Rhea Chakraborty, with the help of her family members and other associates forged an acquaintance with my son Sushant. She wanted to use Sushant’s contacts to establish herself in the acting profession and also to claim crores of rupees that Sushant had earned. As part of this conspiracy Rhea along with her family members Indrajit Chakraborty, Sandhya Chakraborty, and Shouvik Chakraborty developed a close relationship with Sushant and started interfering in his day-to-day life. They also convinced him that his house was haunted and that affected my son. They made him leave that house and put him up at a resort near Mumbai Airport. They also repeatedly told my son that he was talking absurd and said they’ll get him treated by a doctor.
In the middle of this, my daughter went to Mumbai to try and bring Sushant back home, but these people did not allow Sushant to leave Mumbai, after which my daughter returned empty-handed. Rhea then brought Sushant to her house and started to overdose him on medicines. She told everyone that Sushant was suffering from dengue but the truth is he was never diagnosed with dengue. They took complete control of Sushant and everything that belonged to him. His interactions with us reduced drastically. Even his phone used to be with Rhea or her family members. Rhea ensured a rider in the films that were offered to Sushant that he’ll work in them only if she was paired as a lead actress opposite him. She changed his old staff and replaced it with people of her choice, and took away his credit cards and controlled his bank accounts. My son’s first phone number – 93XXXXXX79 – was disconnected at the behest of Rhea and her family members, and they gave him a new phone number – 98XXXXXX08 – on which sometimes I would speak to him. He once told me that these people wanted to put him in a mental asylum. On one occasion, when Sushant went to Delhi and Haryana to meet my daughters, Rhea would repeatedly call him and ask him to return to Mumbai. In fact, my son Sushant wanted to quit the film line to settle down in Coorg, where he wanted to get involved in farming. His friend Mahesh was ready to go with him, but Rhea objected to his plan. She threatened him saying if you don’t do what I say, I’ll hand over your medical reports to the media and prove you are an insane person.
When Rhea realised that Sushant was adamant, and that he was of no use to her, and also the fact that his bank balance had reduced to a great extent, she on 8-6-2020 left Sushant’s house with a lot of things, including cash and jewellery, his laptop, credit cards and the passwords, other important documents, and blocked his number. Sushant called up my daughter and told her that Rhea may get him framed. He told my daughter that Rhea had threatened to make his medical documents public, which will prove he was insane, after which he will not get any work.
After this on 8/9-6-2020 Disha – whom Rhea herself had appointed as Sushant’s manager on a temporary basis—committed suicide. My son got scared and he tried to contact Rhea. He was worried that he will be framed in the matter. My daughter reached Sushant and stayed with him for three or four days, counselled him, and left for her home. My son killed himself on 14-06-2020.
Rhea, along with her family members and aides, cheated my son, committed fraud, and kept him confined. They forced my son to commit suicide and I pray that the following aspects be probed:
1: My son had no mental health issues till 2019. How did these crop up suddenly after he met Rhea?
2: If he was indeed suffering from such an ailment, why were we not contacted? Why was a no-objection letter from us for his treatment not sought?
3: We suspect the doctors who were treating my son at Rhea’s behest were also involved in the conspiracy. We demand to know what was the line of the treatment and what medicines were prescribed to Sushant.
4: If Rhea knew that Sushant was not well, why did she break off with him and block him? This is the reason he committed suicide.
5: After going through my son’s bank account details, I realised that he had around Rs 17 crore in his account number 10XXXXXX91, out of which Rs 15 crore were transferred into accounts that had nothing to do with him. We demand a probe into all bank accounts and credit cards my son had and how much money has been used.
6: Before this episode Sushant had a credible name in the acting profession. Why is it that after Rhea came in his life he stopped getting movies?
7: My son wanted to settle down in Coorg as a farmer but Rhea objected and threatened to finish him off. We demand a probe into this.
I tried to contact Sushant on several occasions, but being based in Patna, couldn’t travel to Mumbai regularly. But Rhea and her family members blocked my attempts. I’m 74 years old, and I realise that the Mumbai Police, instead of bringing the main culprits to book, are investigating those who have little to do with this case. I pray that my complaint be looked into, and a SIT be set up to probe this.
“A four-member team has been sent to Mumbai. The team will collect case diary and other important documents from Mumbai Police,” Sanjay Singh, Inspector General, Patna Central Zone had said.
Earlier, Rhea had also requested a CBI probe into Sushant’s case.
Rhea Chakraborty will be filing for anticipatory bail today after discussing the case with her advocate Satish Maneshinde, a popular criminal lawyer known for handling Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan’s cases as well.
