According to the complaint lodged by Chakraborty, a “bogus and unlawful” medical prescription “was sent by the petitioners with the help of a Delhi-based doctor wherein medicines for anxiety were prescribed to Rajput”.

It was earlier reported that his family was aware of his mental health problems.

Just ahead of the verdict, Shweta Singh Kirti took to Instagram to share a post. "Kahan chala gaya baby?? Just come back... it has been 8 months...haven’t seen you or heard from you.... Please, come back," she wrote alongside a smiling picture of the late actor.
