A year after the tragic untimely demise of the talented actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is yet to conclude whether he died by suicide or there was foul play in his death.

The 34-year-old actor was found dead at his Bandra residency on June 14 2020. 

The premier investigation agency is currently studying a psychiatric evaluation carried out by experts of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) to assess Singh’s state of mind prior to death, people familiar with the development said.

In addition to that reports shared by CFSL on the electronic devices as well as dump data of the relevant cell tower locations as to understand what exactly happened on the fateful day of June 14 2020 are being deeply looked into. 

To be sure, the CBI investigation into Singh’s death began in the first week of August last year. Prior to that, Mumbai Police were investigating it and did not find any foul play. 

A CBI official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the investigators don’t want to rush their findings even though the medical board of AIIMS concluded in September 2020, after studying the post-mortem exam and viscera reports, that the actor’s death was a case of suicide.

“The investigating team and senior officers have visited the place of incident on numerous occasions for better understanding of the circumstances related to the incident. The experts of CFSL, New Delhi, considered the best in their field in India, also visited and examined the place of the incident. The experts also carried out simulation exercises,” the agency said in December.
