Sushant Singh Rajput had googled his own name a few hours before the suicide
ACTOR SUSHANT Singh Rajput had searched on Google three items repeatedly in the week preceding his suicide: his own name in news reports, the name of his former manager Disha Salian who had committed suicide the previous week, and information about a mental illness, a top police officer overseeing the probe told The Indian Express.
The officer said that on June 14, even a few hours before committing suicide, he had Googled his own name.
These details have emerged from forensic reports of his mobile phone and laptop received from the Kalina Forensic Laboratory, the officer said.
Investigators have also obtained bank account details of the actor. “All the accounts where money had been transferred were known. The largest transfer was Rs 2.8 crore last year, which was for GST,” the officer said.
Mumbai Police has recorded over 40 statements in the case, so far. “We found that Sushant knew there was talk linking him to Salian’s death and he was worried this speculation might reach the media. That is why he may have been searching online. These issues seem to have exacerbated his condition. He had Googled his own name a few hours before the suicide,” the officer said.
The police also recorded the statement of three psychiatrists and one psychotherapist last month. “They confirmed that Rajput had consulted them for treatment. They also told us the medication they had prescribed,” the officer said.
Further, from the statement of Siddharth Pithani, Rajput’s friend who had been living in the same house, the police came to know that the actor had been prescribed medicines by his doctors.
“From the prescriptions, and the statement of his friend, cook and caretaker, we found nothing amiss. After he started feeling better, he had stopped taking the medication,” the officer said.
Apart from Pithani, the police also took statements from Rhea Chakraborty, Sushant’s father K K Singh, and sisters Neetu and Meetu Singh, among others.
“In the statement given by his father, he said he did not suspect that anyone drove his son to commit suicide,” an officer said, adding that even his sister and uncle did not level any allegation when they met a senior officer soon after the suicide.
