Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case LIVE: CBI begins questioning with Siddharth Pithani, cook Neeraj again

The CBI team probing Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death on Sunday took the late actor's personal staff back to his flat in Bandra for further questioning and to recreate the crime scene again. It also visited the Waterstone resort where he had spent two months and was there for over two hours as it tried to determine how Sushant was behaving when he was staying there.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team continued the questioning of Sushant's flatmate Siddharth Pithani and personal staff Neeraj Singh and Dipesh Sawant as it found some "inconsistencies" in their statements, as per agency sources.

The sources also said that Pithani, Neeraj and Sawant, who were also questioned earlier in the day after the agency had found some stark differences and inconsistencies in their statements, were, around 2.30 p.m., taken to the Bandra flat to be questioned separately on the chain of events on June 13 and 14.

A Mumbai locksmith - who helped open the door of the room where actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead on June 14 - has now broken his silence after two months. Rafique Shaikh said he was not permitted inside the room and left the flat soon after breaking open the complicated lock and collecting his professional fees. He said he took Rs 2,000 for the job and departed - apparently unaware whose house it was.

Vishal Kirti expressed his views in his latest blog titled 'Please don't ask me for clarifications'. "I have noticed that a lot of people are asking me for clarifications and details about Sushant's death case. I have been asked questions on post-mortem and other specific questions. I want to tell you that I don't know a lot of details myself just like you guys, and I am not putting those questions to family in India on purpose. Everyone is stressed and I don't want to add more to it," Vishal said.

BJP MLA Neeraj Kumar Singh Bablu, the cousin of Sushant Singh Rajput, on Saturday said that the deceased actor's friends Sidharth Pithani and Sandeep should definitely be arrested and interrogated by the CBI. "CBI investigation is going in the right direction. We are hopeful that the guilty will be caught. Sidharth Pithani should be definitely arrested. When we went for the last rites of Sushant, we saw that there was no sadness apparent on Pithani's face. I am suspicious of his activities. He used to be a colleague of Sushant," Bablu said.

Sushant's housekeeper Neeraj's statement as per India Today revealed what happened on June 8. He said, "On June 8, Keshav cooked dinner for everyone. We were preparing to serve dinner to sir and Rhea mam when suddenly Rhea mam called and told me to pack her bag. Rhea mam looked very angry then and she told me to pack her clothes kept in a cupboard. She said that she would collect her clothes, which were in another cupboard, later. And she left, without having dinner, with her brother Showik Chakraborty. That time, Sushant sir was seated in the room all the time. The same day, after Rhea mam left, Sushant sir’s sister Meetu Singh came home."
