Sushant’s video on Lord Shiva draws attention to Pithani
Sushant’s family friend Nilotpal Mrinal recently shared a video where one can see Sushant Singh Rajput devoutly chanting the Jai Jai Shiva Shambo mantra. Behind him is Siddharth Pithani, who was playing a musical instrument, while it seemed it was Samuel Haokip playing the guitar.
While a section got emotional looking at Sushant, many were curious about Siddharth Pithani. One asked about the speculation that 'he had left the country.' One felt that he ‘might have done it’, referring to Sushant's death, while wishing that he 'revealed everything to the CBI.' Others hinted at him allegedly ‘backstabbing’ SSR..
Siddharth Pithani under lens
Siddharth Pithani, who was a flatmate-teammate of Sushant for over a year before his death, was present in the house when the incident had taken on June 14. He had been questioned by the Mumbai Police, that first investigated the case, and then by central agencies like Enforcement Directorate and Central Bureau of Investigation.
He has been under lens with some questionable statements, like about arranging for the locksmith who opened Sushant’s room, as was evident in his interview with Republic TV. He was called in multiple times by ED and CBI as they sought his financial dealings with SSR and recreation of the crime scene respectively.
As per sources, he could be made a witness in the case, with his statement likely to be recorded under Section 164. Meanwhile, the CBI recently clarified that the investigation was very much on, as they hit out at the ‘speculative reports.’
