I request everyone to stand together and demand for CBI inquiry for Sushant. We deserve to know the truth. We deserve justice for Sushant. Otherwise, we will never find closure. We won’t be able to live a peaceful life. Tahe dil se aap sab se request hai ki ekjut ho kar CBI inquiry ki maang karein kyunki humein sach jaan ne ka haq hai (I sincerely request everyone to stand united and demand a CBI inquiry because we have a right to know the truth). Thank you.”The Supreme Court is expected to decide today whether the case would be investigated by the CBI or Mumbai Police. The Maharashtra government has said the FIR registered by CBI should be transferred to Mumbai Police, while Sushant’s family and the Bihar government have opposed this. Rhea’s counsel had said that they are fine with the CBI probe, but opposed to the manner in which the probe was transferred. The court had reserved its judgement on Tuesday.Sushant was found dead at his Mumbai home on June 14. The Mumbai Police have said that it is a case of suicide and recorded the statements of 56 people in the case before the CBI stepped in.
