The latest personality to join the bandwagon of the ones being interrogated by Mumbai Police is renowned film critic Rajeev Masand. As per latest reports, the journalist has been summoned by the Mumbai Police in connection with Sushant Singh Rajput's death investigation.

Reportedly Masand has been called in for interrogation to the Bandra Police station and will be questioned regarding the negative ratings given by him to Sushant's films. "The police could investigate if Masand was working at the behest of some powerful people - with a mission to defame Sushant" tweeted Sushant Mehta.
