Sushant's Psychiatrist Releases Official Statement; Shares Proof to Quash Reports of Breaching Confidentiality

Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely death has shattered the whole nation. The 34-year-old actor breathed his last on June 14, 2020 by hanging himself from the ceiling of his residence in Bandra, Mumbai. Since the time the actor left for heavenly abode, he has left behind a lot of unanswered questions as to "What instigated him to take the drastic step of ending his life?".

While his post-mortem reports stated 'asphyxia due to hanging', various media reports stated that it was professional rivalry which instigated Sushant to take this drastic step

Talking about professional rivalry, nepotism and torture, fingers have been raised on many big names from the Hindi film industry and one by one the Mumbai Police have been summoning them and recording their statements. So far, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, YRF's head honcho, Aditya Chopra, girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and some of close friends and peers have been interrogated.

Recently, his psychiatrist, Dr. Kersi Chavda too was summned by the Mumbai Police and was interrogated and his statements were recorded. Post his interrogation, since this morning some publications carried a report that the Doctor has given statements saying the late actor was suffering from a bipolar disorder.

A Times of India report had also cited sources claiming that Sushant’s counsellor had revealed he regretted breaking up with Ankita Lokhande. The publication later took down the story citing inaccuracies.

Now, the psychiatrist, Dr Kersi Chavda has taken to Facebook to rubbish all rumours, saying that he had never breached confidentiality. He also attached a screenshot wherein DCP Abhishek Trimukhe is seen telling a journalist that the doctor’s statement hasn’t been recorded yet. “DCP zone 9...Abhishek Trimukhe, under whose purview I spoke all of three minutes... had made this statement to the media... which was conveniently not posted.

So... I have not even made a statement. It is incredible how much filth there is in the media... wherein the most basic “confidentiality issue” between a client and a therapist... is just trampled upon with great impunity. So Dr Chavda... the infamous one... has done nothing that could have caused so much anguish and heartache in people. De Chavda is a professional who is ethical...”, read the statement.
