In a new development today, late Sushant Singh Rajput's father has filed an FIR in police against Sushant's erstwhile girlfriend Rhea Chakrabarty, alleging that she instigated Sushant to commit suicide.
I think this is as stupid as it can get.
First of all, it is common sense that Sushant was not a kid that someone like Rhea could drive him to suicide. If she was harassing him, at least more details would have come out earlier. But so far there was no such information in the public domain. Even if she instigated him, he was an adult and only he was responsible for his suicide. This is why he never left a "suicide note", since he would know that he did not have anyone to blame. If Rhea had betrayed him, Sushant would at least have written about it or spoken about it while he was alive. We can hope that Sushant's father would have produce any evidence, if he had any, to the the police.
The fact that his father filed this case so late, after more than a month since his death, may indicate two things:
- His family knew that Sushant had committed suicide and the whole "murder angle" was purely speculative. Then all those people who were spreading "this is a murder" or "call CBI inquiry" should rethink about what they were doing.
- His family is under pressure from some people who were questioning their "silence". I watched a video where one of Sushant's friends was questioning his father about why he is silent and not doing anything. Filing FIR against Sushant's "girl friend" would now silence such critics.
We should also look at this from a humanitarian angle. Rhea was Sushant's girl friend and he loved her. If she did anything wrong, Sushant could have taken action against her while he was alive. But after he is no longer there to speak about it, or to protect her, haunting his girlfriend and accusing her with allegations seems to be totally "unethical".
I think that if Rhea was really involved in Sushant's death in some manner, truth would also have come out during the ongoing probe being carried out by the Mumbai Police. There was no need to file a fresh FIR specifically against her. But perhaps it made sense in a way when we look at the fact that Sushant's father has filed this new case with "Bihar Police" and Bihar Police has already reached Mumbai to probe it. How could the police be so fast? It rather looks like that this FIR and Bihar Police's actions are "pre-planned" and motivated by "state level politics". The way some local politicians in Bihar were "using" Sushant's case to get popularity should not be ignored.
I wish that if Sushant's father has taken this decision under pressure of someone, then he should repent and take back his complaint on humanitarian grounds. He should understand that his son was an adult and he could not be forced or influenced by his girlfriend to commit suicide without at least speaking about the case. And it is totally unethical to start a "witch hunt" against Rhea now.
Post script: 29th of July 11am:
-------------------------------------
I wrote above blog post yesterday, immediately after first news reports of the FIR came out. I thought the FIR was an emotional decision by Sushant's father. But since then more details have come out in the open including complete FIR. It appears that Sushant's father has made very specific allegations against Rhea; and many of those allegations can be investigated to make clear judgement, for example, the money transfers from Sushant's bank account, his medical reports, etc. Let us hope that the Police has got a right direction to investigate now and hope their investigation will be conclusive. In this regards, we should all thank Sushant's father for coming out and fighting for justice.
