The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which went to Mumbai to probe the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, has returned to Delhi and will hold a meeting next week with the AIIMS forensic team, sources said on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court has responded to actress Rakul Preet’s plea, after her name had cropped up in the drug case linked to Sushant’s death. Rakul has highlighted media reports against her after Rhea Chakraborty named her in the drug related case before the Narcotics Control Bureau. The single judge bench said, “There has to be some restraint. Media gets to know info even before the officers themselves. Reputations are getting tarnished.”
In the ongoing probe into the death of the actor, the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) on Wednesday said that there was “no breach” on the part of Dr RN Cooper hospital and the Mumbai police in allowing Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakrabarty inside the mortuary of the hospital. The SHRC said that based on the details of the waiting area, all the protocols were duly followed. The matter, therefore, has been disposed off.

Kangana Ranaut: B'town ensured Sushant Singh Rajput-Sara Ali Khan break up
Kangana Ranaut in a recent interview alleged that Bollywood celebs made sure that Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan would break up. She also mentioned how Kareena Kapoor Khan had asked Sara not to date her first co-star (Sushant). While speaking to Times Now, Kangana had said, "Section of media & B-Town ensured SSR-Sara break up. This ‘suicide gang’ has tried to target me as well."
Kangana Ranaut, whose demand for justice in Sushant's death case has become a full blown war on the 'mafia' in Bollywood, was recently asked what she was fighting for exactly - justice for Sushant Singh Rajput, against the alleged drugs nexus in the industry or if she is simply fighting a political battle. The actress told Times Now that she was only fighting for herself and in the process, ‘cleaning the path for many’. She said that she has been subjected to harassment, molestation and a ‘drug racket’ in the industry.
The team of the SIT will be holding meetings with the AIIMS forensic team on Sunday and later in the coming week also to take its medico legal opinion in the case.
Medical Board's opinion will be given to CBI next week. I hope it will be conclusive without any doubts. Reports can't be shared since the matter is subjudice: Prof Dr Sudhir Gupta, Head of Forensic Department, AIIMS & Chairman of Medical Board formed in Sushant Rajput death case

Triggering a controversy, RJD MLA Arun Yadav has said that Sushant Singh Rajput is not a Rajput as those belonging to Maharana Prataps clan do not die by suicide. The JD(U) and BJP asked Yadav to apologise to the people of Bihar and Sushant's fans for the casteist comment.
"I say that he (Sushant) was not a Rajput. Please dont mind but a Rajput who belongs to Maharana Prataps clan cannot hang himself by a rope... Rajputs first kill others before dying," Yadav said on Wednesday while inaugurating a newly-built road in Saharsa, his assembly constituency.

In the drug angle related to the case, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) had summoned the late actor’s former manager Shruti Modi and talent manager Jaya Saha for questioning on Wednesday. However, their questioning was called off after one of the team members of SIT tested positive for coronavirus. Shruti and Jaya were to be questioned about the drug use and delivery to Sushant and his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, who was arrested last Tuesday, and if they were aware of this.
The latest development comes in the wake of the arrest of over 15 people in connection with the case, including Rhea, her brother Showik Chakraborty, Sushant’s house manager Samuel Miranda and several others. The NCB registered a case on the request of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) after the alleged drug chats of Showik, Miranda and several others came to the fore.
Sushant was found dead in his Bandra apartment on June 14. Besides the CBI and the ED, the NCB is the third agency to probe the death case.
Sushant’s personal life and past romantic relationships are also being discussed and scrutinised in the media regularly. Sara Ali Khan, who made her Bollywood debut with Sushant in Kedarnath, has also been in the limelight for allegedly dating her co-star for several months before breaking off due to unknown reasons. Now, Sara’s name has also cropped up during Rhea Chakraborty’s investigation with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).
His sister Shweta Singh Kirti, one of the most vocal voices from her family demanding justice in her brother’s death case, has said that she is taking 10 days off social media to heal the pain of losing her brother.
