Sushant Singh Rajput’s family released a 9-page statement to counter the slander campaign that is on against them. Written by the family members of the late actor in Hindi, the statement narrates the story of Sushant Singh Rajput and his family. In the statement, the actor’s family claimed that some people are attacking them with false allegations and trying to malign their image.
The statement starts with a couplet by Firaaq Jalalpuri, which reads, “Tu idhar-udhar ki naa baat kar, Ye bata ki kafila kyun luta. Mujhe rehjano se gila nahi, teri rehbari ka sawaal hai.”
The family explained Sushant’s journey from a small Bihar village to the City of Dreams, Mumbai. “A few years ago, nobody knew Sushant. Neither his family. Today, the entire country is worried and his family is being attacked from all sides,” the statement reads.
The family added, “Sushant’s parents are people who believe in hard work. They had five extremely happy children. For their better upbringing, the family decided to move from their ancestral home in a village to a city in the 90s. The parents got busy with earning bread and the upbringing of their kids. Like any other common Indian parents, they also suffered many hardships, but provided everything to their children. They never stopped their children from dreaming big. They believed for people who are hardworking, nothing is impossible.”
Sushant’s family then went on to write about Sushant and his sisters, and how they realised their dreams. The statement read, “It was a major blow for the family when Sushant’s mother passed away. They took a big decision at a family meeting so that people don’t think that the family broke after his mother’s death. Sushant decided to become an actor. In the next 8-10 years, something happened that people only dream about. But what happened now should not happen to anybody.”
Attacking Rhea Chakraborty and her family, Sushant’s family in their statement said, “A known person is surrounded by thugs and greedy people. The person who is responsible for people’s safety is asked to save them. They are the heirs of English, it doesn’t matter to them if an Indian dies.”
In their statement, Sushant Singh Rajput’s family said that four months after their complaint, something happened that they feared. Sushant died and the police officer told them that it was a case of suicide. “They tell us that Sushant was mad. He died of suicide. It’s common. Give us the names of a few big people.”
The family claimed that they didn’t even get the time to mourn the death of their only son. The police was putting an exhibition of Sushant’s dead body, instead of investigating the case. Sushant died because of the carelessness of the police department, Sushant Singh Rajput’s family said in the statement.
The statement further reads, “The family couldn’t take it any more, when after a month of Sushant’s death, some people aided with top lawyers and PR agencies, returned blatantly. They tried to insult Sushant’s memories.” Here, the family attacked Rhea Chakraborty, who posted on Instagram about Sushant after one month of his death and asked Home Minister Amit Shah for a CBI inquiry.
The family alleged in the statement that it is a case of murder and not suicide. They questioned if top lawyers will kill the truth in the court. The said, “The biggest question is that why should people believe in those police officers who consider themselves elite and are fans of English-speaking people?”
They also said that Sushant’s father and his sisters are being threatened. They added that people are trying to assassinate their characters and questioning their relationship with Sushant. Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut had alleged that Sushant’s relationship with his father and his family was not particularly great.
“People who are creating a scene and those who are watching it, should not forget that this can happen to them as well,” the family wrote in the statement.
Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging at his Mumbai home on June 14. While Mumbai Police called it a case of suicide, Sushant’s father filed an abetment to suicide case against Rhea Chakraborty and her family in Patna. In his complaint, he also said that Rhea and her family members pocketed Rs 15 crore from Sushant’s account.
The CBI has now taken over the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. The Supreme Court heard Rhea Chakraborty’s plea in the case on Tuesday (August 11) and reserved its verdict in the case till Thursday (August 13).
