In an explosive tell-all interview with Pinkvilla, Sushant Singh Rajput’s family lawyer Vikas Singh (Former Additional Solicitor General & Senior Advocate) revealed some shocking details.
He spoke about how Rhea Chakraborty systematically planned and took complete control of Sushant’s life; isolating him from his family and friends, medicating him to duping him of over Rs 15 crore just in a year.
Vikas told Pinkvilla, “During his stay with Rhea, Rs 17 crore came into the account and Rs 15 crore went out. Now you must appreciate that not a single property was bought, nor was a big car purchased, so where did this money go?”
He also said Mumbai police was derailing the investigation by summoning Bollywood personalities and focusing on the nepotism angle.
Vikas Singh also broke down Sushant’s alienation process into steps.
He commented – “An offence of abetment to suicide doesn’t happen in a day. It has a bundle of facts involved and for Sushant, it all started when Rhea completely cut off his access to his family members. She didn’t let the father talk to the son and cut down on that frequency. Then, when the father tried to contact Sushant through the bodyguard, that also wasn’t allowed. That was the first step.“
He further added, “The second step was to remove all the servants, bodyguards and cook from the house. Third was to take over the bank accounts, credit cards and PIN numbers, etc. Fourth step was when for the first time, Sushant Singh Rajput had started taking medicines. The family was completely unaware of this – what medicines he was taking, which doctor she was taking him to. She completely conjured up a situation where she could make him feel that there’s something wrong with him.”
The lawyer also commented on how Rhea used him to advance her own career – “She was using him to further her own career. She would sit in all the meetings with production houses and would say, ‘He will do it only if you take me opposite him in the lead’. She slowly took control of his mind and his affairs in such a way and started dominating him. The medicines that were administered on him made the control go from bad to worse.”
Vikas Singh also talked about what could been the trigger point for Sushant’s death – “Sushant finally told her that he wanted to do organic farming and take a break from movies. She realised he’s of no use to her anymore and she left. From what the family has told me, I feel this could be the trigger point. She walked out of the house, took all his medical records and would keep threatening him that she would make all the reports public. That was one threat he couldn’t take strong actions against her. She walked out of that house with the files and blocked him, which made him even more anxious.”
