Mahesh Bhatt to record his statement in Sushant’s suicide case
Mahesh Bhatt will record his statement with the Mumbai Police in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide case
Mumbai: Mahesh Bhatt will record his statement with the Mumbai Police in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide case, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said.
Besides him, producer-director Karan Johar's manager has been called to record the statement and if needed, Johar himself will be asked to do so, the minister said.
"Summons have also been sent to actor Kangana Ranaut, asking her to record her statement," the minister said.
After Rajput's suicide at his apartment in Mumbai last month, Ranaut had lashed out at nepotism and cartels in Bollywood, alleging that he was its victim.
Deshmukh said that police have so far recorded statements of 37 people in connection with the case.
They include director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, filmmaker and Yash Raj Films (YRF) chairman Aditya Chopra and film critic Rajeev Masand.
