Rhea Chakraborty gets relief in Sushant Singh Rajput case by Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has provided significant relief to actor Rhea Chakraborty in connection with the death case of Sushant Singh Rajput. On October 25, 2024, the court upheld the Bombay High Court’s decision to cancel the lookout circular that was previously issued against Chakraborty and her family by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). This circular was part of the investigations following the tragic death of the Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June 2020, which had ignited a nationwide debate and a media frenzy.
The lookout notice had restricted Rhea Chakraborty and her family from traveling outside the country, as the CBI feared they might flee amidst the investigation. However, with the Supreme Court now upholding the Bombay High Court’s earlier decision, the circular is officially revoked, providing a sense of closure on this legal front for Rhea Chakraborty.
Rhea Chakraborty had been under intense scrutiny following the death of Rajput, with multiple accusations leveled against her, including abetment of suicide and involvement in the actor’s financial affairs. The case had taken various turns, with multiple agencies like the CBI, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) getting involved. However, despite the heavy focus on her, there has been no conclusive evidence tying her to any criminal wrongdoing in the case.

This latest ruling is seen as a significant victory for Rhea Chakraborty, who has consistently maintained her innocence throughout the process. The public attention surrounding this case had put immense pressure on her and her family, and this legal relief might mark a step toward restoring their normalcy. It remains to be seen how this will impact the ongoing narrative and other related investigations surrounding Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.
Nonetheless, this decision by the Supreme Court reflects a key moment in the long-running legal saga that has captured the nation’s attention for over four years.
