LAWYER QUESTIONS CBI CLOSURE REPORT, SAYS KEY DOCUMENTS STILL WITHHELD

Nearly five years after actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death, the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) closure report has come under renewed scrutiny from the late actor's family.

Their counsel, Advocate Varun Singh, has alleged that the agency filed an “incomplete and inconclusive” report while withholding crucial supporting documents -- effectively stalling any legal challenge to its findings.

The CBI had filed its closure report in March 2025, giving a clean chit to Rhea Chakraborty and other accused persons named in the FIR. The report stated that there was no evidence to suggest that Rajput had been confined, threatened, or subjected to any criminal act.

However, Advocate Singh told ANI that the agency's submission remains deficient, as several critical annexures and relied-upon materials have not been shared -- despite six court orders from the Patna court directing the CBI to furnish them.
