"Sushant Singh Rajput's Father Optimistic as Bombay High Court to Review Plea on Actor's Death"

The Bombay High Court is set to hear a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on February 19, which aims to explore a deeper investigation into the deaths of actor Sushant Singh Rajput and his former manager, Disha Salian. The PIL calls for the arrest and questioning of Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aditya Thackeray in relation to the two deaths, which remain shrouded in mystery.

In an interview with ANI on Saturday, the late Sushant's father, KK Singh, shared his hope of achieving justice for his son under the new Maharashtra government. "I hope that whatever comes out of the court will be right. And hopefully, it will come out soon. We hoped for justice with the CBI, but it didn't do its job on time. Now that it has come to the court, there is a hope that justice will be obtained. It is expected that the government is good. Whatever the current CM will do will be well and good. Yes, there is a lot of hope," he told ANI.

The actor's father mentioned that losing his son at such a young age was an extremely emotional time for him. He also reiterated his belief that his son could not have died by suicide. "It is natural to have an emotional moment of five years. There was only one boy. This happened to him. One can imagine what will happen to the father. We also listened to the media (On MLA Aditya Thackeray mention) but we don't know what the reality is. Now, it will be decided in the court about what the matter is. Those people will know. We can say that Sushant Singh would not have committed suicide," said KK Singh.

Sushant was found dead at his Bandra home on June 14, 2020, sparking a major controversy. The case was later transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation for further investigation. The postmortem report revealed that asphyxia was the cause of death, and it was carried out at Mumbai's Cooper Hospital. Nearly five years after the actor's death, the Bombay High Court is scheduled to hear a PIL filed by Rashid Khan Pathan, President of the Supreme Court and High Court Litigants Association of India.
