The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has officially exonerated actress Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik Chakraborty, and their family members in the high-profile death case of Sushant Singh Rajput. After four years of investigation, the CBI’s closure report concluded that there was no evidence of foul play in the tragic demise of the late actor, who was found dead in his Mumbai apartment in June 2020 at the age of 34. This news has brought relief to the Chakraborty family, who have faced intense scrutiny and legal challenges since the incident.

Showik Chakraborty Reacts

Breaking his silence for the first time since the CBI’s decision, Showik Chakraborty took to Instagram on Saturday evening to share his emotions. He posted an old video featuring himself and Rhea, captioning it with the poignant phrase “Satyameva Jayate,” meaning “Truth alone triumphs,” accompanied by a folded hands emoji. Rhea Chakraborty has not yet released an official statement.

A Tumultuous Journey

The path to this moment has been challenging for the Chakraborty family. After Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, Rhea and Showik found themselves at the center of multiple investigations. In September 2020, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested the siblings in a drugs-related case linked to Rajput’s death. Rhea spent 27 days in judicial custody before being granted bail, while Showik faced a longer period of incarceration.

Lawyer’s Statement

Rhea’s lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, spoke about the CBI’s closure of the case, highlighting the hardships endured by his client and her family. “Rhea was jailed for 27 days despite no fault of her own. I salute her and her family for having maintained their silence while suffering inhumane treatment,” Maneshinde stated. He noted that the case came to him through close friends, including defense personnel from his time at Sainik School, and praised the resilience of Rhea’s family and his legal team during this ordeal. “Both Rhea’s family, my team, and I were hounded and threatened with danger to our lives. Yet, nothing deterred us from fulfilling our legal duties,” he added.

The CBI’s decision marks the conclusion of a nearly five-year saga that captivated the nation, igniting discussions on mental health, justice, and media trials, and leaving a lasting impact on everyone involved.
