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.’
