Nearly five years after sushant singh Rajput’s death, his family plans to legally challenge the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) closure report.
The report cleared actor rhea chakraborty of all charges related to Sushant’s death.
The family called the closure report “an eyewash” and accused the cbi of a “shoddy investigation.”
