As CBI investigates the inconsistencies in the statements by Sushant Singh Rajput’s flatmate Siddharth Pithani, cook Neeraj and Dipesh Sawant, all of whom were present on the day when Sushant was found dead on 14June’20, Republic Media Network has accessed two WhatsApp chats from 9 June’20 and 14 June’20 that have raised even more doubts on the events of 14 June’20. These chats obliterate the ‘suicide theory’ floated since day one.
The chats accessed by Republic Media Network reveal that Dipesh was texting on Sushant’s deal even after the claimed ‘panic broke out’ that the actor wasn’t opening the door. This is in contrast to his own version of the story which raises more doubts over the timeline of events on the morning of 14 June’20. Even his cook Neeraj has claimed that they were frantically knocking on Sushant’s last door at 10:30 am. Siddharth Pithani, Neeraj and Dipesh Sawant were last week taken to the Bandra flat to be questioned separately on the chain of events on 13 and 14 June’20.
An e-commerce giant approached Sushant’s close friend because they were scouting for a brand endorsement deal and Sushant Singh Rajput was one of those they wanted talks with, chats reveal. This close friend of Sushant, on 9 June’20 texted him saying that the-commerce giant wanted to get in touch for a particular deal to which Sushant replied that Dipesh Sawant will take this deal forward. A clear indication that 4 days before his death, Sushant was keen on advancing his career and working on future deals.
On 14 June’20 a message was sent by Dipesh Sawant at 10:51 am to Sushant’s friend which said, “Hi Sir, SSR asked me to get in touch with you, regarding the (names E-commerce giant)”. This casts a cloud on the version by Cook Neeraj who claimed they were frantically knocking on Sushant’s last door at 10:30 am. There have been various versions of what happened on the morning of 14 June’20. The exact time of Sushant’s death has not been identified as yet as the autopsy report does not mention the time and the Mumbai Police never clearly spoke of it.
Sushant’s friend replied at 2:48 by asking, “Bhai is safe no…Please reply Yes or No.” The friend again messaged Dipesh at 3:34 pm saying, “Bhai we are outside, let me know if you need any help.” The conversation raises yet more questions over why a person who was allegedly about to “commit suicide” was worried about an e-commerce deal.
Meanwhile, Rhea Chakraborty and her brother are being interrogated by the CBI for the fourth day in a row.
