Sushant was found dead at his Mumbai apartment on June 14. He was suffering from depression and died by suicide. Rhea went to the Bandra police station to record her statement in connection with the suicide of her friend and fellow actor Sushant Singh Rajput, an official said. She was called to the police station by the investigating officer in the case. Rhea and Sushant were rumoured to be in a relationship since quite some time and were occasionally spotted together on lunch outings and holidays. She had attended his funeral and has maintained a silence ever since the actor’s demise.
The police have been trying to understand the reasons behind Sushant’s depression. The police have so far recorded statements of at least 29 people, including Sushant’s family members, his close friends like Rhea, Dil Bechara director Mukesh Chhabra and Sushant’s co-star Sanjana Sanghi, Yash Raj Films casting director Shanoo Sharma and filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Sushant’s father KK Singh told the police that he and other family members didn’t know the reason behind the actor’s depression. Earlier, Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh said the Mumbai Police will also probe the angle of “professional rivalry” which was alleged to be the cause of the suicide.
