Mumbai Police reacts to Sushant Singh Rajput’s family claiming to be forced into signing statements in Marathi

Sushant Singh Rajput’s family lawyer, Vikas Singh, earlier claimed that the family were forced to sign statements in Marathi by Mumbai Police. In a press conference, he said that “The family has never given any statement of Sushant dying by suicide. These statements were recorded by the Mumbai Police in Marathi. The family also objected, ‘Please don’t write in Marathi if you want us to sign.’ They were forced to sign a statement written in Marathi. They had no clue of what was being written.”

Now, reacting to these claims, Mumbai Police has said that all the statements were recorded in presence of OP Singh who is the brother-in-law of the late actor and is also the Police Commissioner of Faridabad hence denying these claims.

In response to Sushant’s family’s claims, the Mumbai Police told in a statement during a press conference that all the statements of Sushant’s three sisters and his father were recorded in the presence of OP Singh who is the brother-in-law of the late actor and is also the Police Commissioner of Faridabad. Sushant’ brother-in-law was also asked by the Mumbai Police to record his statement but he did not turn up. OP Singh asked Mumbai Police to send questions on email. But, since this is not the SOP (standard operating procedure) of recording statements so it has to be done in person.

According to a report by India Today, reacting to Sushant’s family’s claims, Rhea’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde said, “The statements were made two and a half months back before the police on June 16, 2020. Those statements were explained to the sisters and till today there have been no complaints. Now it is too late in the day to say ‘I did not understand the content of those statements.’ Investigation in every state takes place according to state language.”

Meanwhile, the CBI is investigating this case and they are currently interrogating the prime suspects.
