Nearly three months since Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai residence on 14 June’20. While the news has left the nation stunned, there have been reports soon rounds that the late actor suffered from bipolar disorder after his doctor apparently shared details of his mental health. Now, as per the recent uodates, Sushant’s father KK Singh has filed a complaint with the Medical Council of India against medical practitioner Susan Walker Moffat for allegedly breaching confidentiality and disclosing the late actor’s mental illness.
In his complaint Sushant’s father stated, “Any consultation between Sushant Singh Rajput & Registered Medical practitioner Susan Walker was strictly confidential & disclosure of same would be misconduct under IMC regulation.” To note, Walker had given interviews to several news channels and disclosed Sushant’s mental condition and asserted that she had given consultation to him and even prescribed medicines. Earlier, Sushant’s family lawyer Vikas Singh had also mentioned that doctors are not allowed to share sensitive information of the patients and it is violation of medical guidelines.
“I have seen a disturbing trend that so-called doctors of Sushant are discussing his mental health on news channels. According to MCI professional rules, no doctor can share sensitive information related to their patient. As Sushant is no more, it can only be done with the permission of his legal heir i.e., his father,” he had stated.
Meanwhile, Sushant’s family has hailed the arrest of Rhea Chakraborty by NCB.The actress has been taken for a medical examination and will, reportedly, be produced before the magistrate through video conferencing in the evening.
