    Sushant was found dead at Mumbai home on June 14

    Sushant, widely considered as one of the most promising young actors of Hindi cinema, was found dead at his apartment in Mumbai on June 14. The police had termed it a case of suicide.

    The actor had been suffering from clinical depression, medical reports have suggested.

    His shocking death has sparked debates around mental health and the cut-throat competition (laced with nepotism) in Bollywood.

    Probe

    CBI and ED are currently investigating the case

    After being dissatisfied by the way Mumbai Police handled this case, on July 25, Sushant's father, KK Singh, had filed a police complaint in Patna against Rhea Chakraborty, actor and Sushant's alleged girlfriend, accusing her of fraud and abetment to suicide.

    The case is now being probed by two central agencies, viz. the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

    SC

    SC will soon decide who will probe the case

    However, Rhea has filed a petition in the Supreme Court, seeking transfer of case against her from Patna to Mumbai. The top court heard the case on August 11.

    On Thursday, a written submission was filed by all parties in the apex court.

    While Sushant's family and the Bihar government have requested for a CBI probe, Rhea and the Maharashtra government have opined otherwise.
