Sushant Singh Rajput’s Father Seeks Justice as Bombay High Court Accepts Plea in Actor’s Death Case

Bombay High Court is going to hear a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on February 19, asking for a proper probe into the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput and his ex-manager, Disha Salian.

The PIL asks for the arrest and interrogation of Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aditya Thackeray in connection with the two deaths, which happened under mysterious circumstances.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s Father Seeks Justice

In a conversation with ANI on Saturday, Sushant’s father KK Singh had hoped that the new government in Maharashtra would assist in bringing justice to his deceased son.

“I wish that whatever comes out of the court will be correct. And hopefully, it will happen early. We wanted justice with the CBI, but it didn’t do it on time. Now that it has reached the court, there is a hope that justice will be achieved. It is believed that the government is good. Whatever the incumbent CM will do will be good and well. Yes, there is much hope,” he said to ANI. Going over the emotional distress he has gone through ever since his son’s passing, he reasserted that Sushant did not commit suicide.

“It is natural to have an emotional moment of five years. There was just one boy. This has happened to him. One can think what will happen to the father. We also heard the media (On MLA Aditya Thackeray mention) but we do not know what the reality is. Now, it will be decided in the court about what the matter is. Those people will know. We can say that Sushant Singh would not have committed suicide,” KK Singh added.
