Sandip Ssingh Clarifies about 'Thumbs Up' Gesture to Mumbai Police on June 14; Denies Allegations Of Sexually Assaulting a Minor In Mauritius

Filmmaker Sandip Ssingh was among the first few people who arrived at Sushant Singh Rajput's Bandra residence after his untimely demise. Sandip came under the scanner after the late actor's family stated that they don't know him while he claimed to be Sushant's close friend.

Several other allegations also surrounded Sandip including the case of sexually assaulting a minor in Mauritius.

After months, Sandip Ssingh broke his silence and denied the allegations over the sexual assault case in Mauritius. 

He shared a clearance letter from June 2018 by the Mauritius Police, which reads, “This office wishes to inform you that as per Police records, Mr. Sandeep Vinodkumar Singh, born on 2nd September 1981, holder of Indian passport no Z4318005, is neither involved in any Police case in Mauritius nor subject to any ongoing enquiry being conducted by the police.” Sharing this letter, Sandip wrote, “Just want to end the speculation on the planted Mauritius story to degrade my image of a self-made person out of jealousy and put me down. Sharing the letter from the Mauritius Police. There was no such case ever filed. #SandipSsingh”

Sandip also cleared the air about the calls exchanged on June 14-16 between him and the ambulance driver who carried Sushant Singh Rajput's body to the hospital. While speaking to India TV, Sandip Ssingh said that the driver was calling for his money which was paid in cash a few days later.

Further, Sandip also clarified about his 'thumbs up' gesture to the Mumbai Police constable at Sushant's building on June 14 2020. He told ANI:  ''When I reached Cooper Hospital with Mitu didi (Sushant Singh's sister), a constable asked - who is Sandip? To which, instead of shouting, I showed thumbs up to tell that I was the person. What was wrong in that? Should I have cared about my gesture at that time?''
