The Investigation so far:

KK Singh, Sushant Singh Rajput as the legal heir of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput authorized Mr. Varun Singh and Mr. Vikas Singh to represent the family (which only includes father, and his daughters, as per his statement) in the legal matters on the death of Sushant.

Statements of 54 people have been recorded including that of Mahesh Bhatt, Rhea Chakraborty, Karan Johar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and many others by August 4. The statements have not been published yet.

No direct transfers were found from Sushant’s account to Rhea’s account while investigating the case. No connection has been proved between the Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput suicide cases till now.

Due to limited investigation by the Mumbai police who were following the Criminal procedure, the investigation was transferred to CBI after the reference made by Bihar Police in the FIR filed by KK Singh. The CBI will be taking over the charge now and will be collecting all the shreds of evidence from the Mumbai Police and examining what the Police have done till now.

In the money laundering case which was filed against Rhea Chakraborty & her family along with her staff Samuel Miranda and Shruti Modi by ED on July 31 concerning FIR lodged by KK Singh, it was concluded that Sushant was not struggling financially or in his career.
