Siddharth Pithani opens up about Missing Pages from Sushant's Diary

In the latest development in Sushant Singh Rajput's death case, Times Now has gotten their hands on the late actor's personal diary. 

While Sushant's Diary could be a crucial source of information, the news portal reported that 3 pages were torn from the diary and are missing. This has raised further questions into the investigation.

It is also being reported that the diary was found next to Sushant's body at his Bandra residence on June 14, when he passed away. 

Sushant's friend and flatmate Sidharth Pithani, who was present in the house when the actor passed away was questioned regarding the missing pages from the diary. To which, Sidharth at first stated that he did not find any torn pages in Sushant’s room. 

Further, Sidharth opened up about Sushant's diaries and said  that he’d seen Sushant write in his diary often, and the actor had even shared details about one diary in particular. “The diaries that Sushant had shared about, he had written about scientists and geniuses, and he wanted to invite them to his house and make a nice video so people could learn from them,” he said. 

However responding to allegations that pages from his diary were missing, Siddharth said that Sushant had a habit of tearing pages from his diary.

"Sushant had a habit of tearing pages if he didn’t like what he’d written. I’m sure people will find missing pages in more books also" Pithani said.
