Sushant Singh Rajput Drugs Case: Siddharth Pithani’s bail plea has been pending since January, reveals his lawyer

Actor Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14, 2020 at the age of 34. Sushant’s body was found hanging from the ceiling fan in his Mumbai flat. The post mortem report confirmed the cause of the death as asphyxia due to hanging and said it was a “clear case of suicide.” SSR’s flatmate Siddharth Pithani was the first one to report the death of the actor. Pithani was arrested on May 26 from Hyderabad last year in a drug case related to SSR’s death. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) who was probing the drug angle took action against Siddharth after they recovered the details from his phone and WhatsApp chat alleged that he has contacts with some drug suppliers. He hasn’t got bail yet. His bail plea has been pending since January 2022.

Now, Pithani’s lawyer told Etimes that they have applied for bail in January but the hearing is yet to come up in court.

Not only Pithani, Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik were also arrested in the drugs case but they were granted bail later. Even several Bollywood celebs like Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor and others were investigated in the drug case.

For the unversed, after his arrest, Pithani applied for bail but was rejected in August 2021 as the court said in its order, “…at this stage, it is difficult to come to any particular conclusion whether the applicant/accused (Pithani) is involved in the chain of activities of drug dealers”. But he was given special permission to attend his marriage in July 2021 in Hyderabad.
