The sudden demise of the actor had left fans, family and friends shattered for so many days. Later, it was found that the cause of death is more than mere hanging, and the possibility of murder couldn’t be ruled out.
The Supreme Court on August 19 directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate actor’s death case from Mumbai police. After CBI took over the case, they arrested various people along with Rhea Chakrobatry and her brother due to drugs angle in the case. The case is yet to close as further investigation is going on.
