Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai home on June 14, 2020. His death sparked a massive media frenzy and public debate, leading to multiple investigations. Initially, his father filed a case accusing his girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty, of abetment to suicide. Meanwhile, Rhea also filed a case against Sushant’s sisters, alleging they had wrongly prescribed him medicines.
The case was later handed over to the CBI, which conducted a thorough investigation, including crime scene analysis, witness statements, and forensic reports. Throughout the years, several theories emerged, including claims of political involvement, narcotics abuse, and even poisoning. However, forensic experts at AIIMS ruled out murder, stating there was no evidence of poisoning or strangulation.
After nearly five years, the CBI has filed its final reports, concluding that there is no proof that anyone drove the actor to suicide. This officially puts an end to the conspiracy theories that surrounded Sushant’s tragic death.
CBI has not only filed a closure report in Sushant’s death case but also cleared Rhea of any charges. Rhea and her brother, Showik Chakraborty, were previously arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in a drug-related case linked to Sushant’s death.

Following the CBI’s final report on March 22, Showik expressed relief on social media after years of scrutiny. Taking to his Instagram Stories, he shared an old video of himself and Rhea walking in the mountains, captioning it, "Satyamev Jayate (🙏)." The phrase translates to "The truth shall prevail."
Dia Mirza also reacted to the report, criticising the media for its treatment of Rhea. She wrote, "Who in the media will have the grace to put out a written apology to Rhea Chakraborty and her family? You went on a witch hunt. You caused deep anguish and harassment just for TRPs. Apologise. That's the very least you can do."
After Dia, Uorfi Javed also reacted to the news. She shared her thoughts on Instagram Stories, praising Rhea for her resilience. "The grace you’ve carried yourself through all of this is so inspiring," she wrote.
Soni Razdan expressed her frustration, stating, "Should have decided this BEFORE they put the poor girl in jail and tried to destroy a reputation. This was nothing but a modern-day witch hunt. Question is… where is the accountability? Who pays?"
Meanwhile, Fatima Sana Shaikh also voiced their support for Rhea.
Take a look at how netizens reacted to the news the other day.

Arnab Goswami relentlessly vilified Rhea Chakraborty without any evidence, solely for TRP in SSR case

Navika Kumar, Pradip Bhandari & others were equally complicit. The entire ‘Godi media’ owes Rhea an unconditional apology today 🙌#RheaChakraborty

Why shouldn't #RheaChakraborty file a defamation suit against #ArnabGoswami and @navikakumar? She absolutely should. What Navika and Arnab did to Rhea was nothing less than trauma and torture. pic.twitter.com/5sCmKCJkRk
