BJP MLA Ram Kadam accuses former Maharashtra government of "negligence" in Sushant Singh Rajput death case

Ram Kadam said that Uddhav Thackeray's government at that time "deliberately showed negligence" and "stopped" Bihar Police from investigation in Mumbai.

"When the entire country was demanding that Sushant Singh Rajput's case be handed over to CBI, Uddhav Thackeray government deliberately showed negligence. When Bihar Police came to Mumbai for investigation, they too were stopped. What was the reason? To save the people of Uddhav Thackeray government, all evidence was erased. Furniture at Sushant's residence was removed, it was painted and it was returned to the actual owner," BJP's MLA Ram Kadam said in a self-made video.

BJP MLA Kadam held Uddhav Thackeray responsible for Sushant Singh Rajput's family not receiving justice.

"Had Uddhav Thackeray handed over the case to CBI at the right time, Sushant's family would have definitely received justice. If they are not getting justice today, Uddhav Thackeray government is responsible for it," he said.

CBI on Saturday submitted a closure report on the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020, sources sad

According to sources, the closure has been filed in a Mumbai Court nearly five years after Sushant Singh's death.

Sushant, 34, was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020, which created a huge controversy, with the investigation later being handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation. His postmortem report stated the cause of death was asphyxia. The postmortem was conducted at Mumbai's Cooper Hospital.

Meanwhile, in the case relating to the death of the former manager of Sushant Singh, Disha Salian, her father Satish Salian approached the Bombay High Court seeking a probe into his daughter's death and requesting the registration of an FIR against Aaditya Thackeray, among others.

Disha was found dead on June 8, 2020, days before Sushant was found hanging in his flat in suburban Bandra, Mumbai. (ANI)
