A cautionary tale on multiple counts

The CBI's decision to close the case related to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput and rule out foul play is not just an important moment in the case but also holds out lessons for politicians, the media, law enforcement and society at large.

At least four years after the actor was found dead in his Mumbai apartment, the CBI closure report effectively absolves of any wrongdoing actress Rhea Chakraborty and her family members, who were accused by Rajput's family (and some overzealous politicians and TV channels) of driving their son to suicide and embezzling his funds and confirms that the actor took his own life.
