Keen to assist in Sushant's death probe: Kangana

July 24, 2020 17:12

Actress Kangana Ranaut, through her lawyer, writes to the Mumbai Police stating that she is "keen to assist" in the probe of Sushant Singh Rajput's death. The letter states that since Ranaut is in Himachal Pradesh, the Mumbai Police can either visit her or record her statement via electronic medium.

The Mumbai Police on Friday issued summons to the Bollywood actor asking her to record her statement in connection with Sushant Singh Rajput's death case, an official said. The Bandra police are investigating allegations that professional rivalry, besides clinical depression, drove the actor to suicide.

After Rajput's suicide at his apartment in Mumbai last month, Ranaut had lashed out at nepotism and cartels in Bollywood, alleging that he was its victim.

According to the police, Ranaut is currently in Manali. "In an attempt to understand the reason behind Rajput's depression, police want some inputs from Kangana Ranaut. Accordingly, we sent summons to her by post at her residence in Manali on Friday," the official said. "Police may ask Ranaut to give her inputs about the possible reason behind Rajput's extreme step," he said. -- PTI
