Sushant’s family lawyer: “Today’s development reaffirms our faith in robust democracy”

Hours after Sushant Singh Rajput’s family claimed victory over a petition filed by Rhea Chakraborty in the Supreme Court, family lawyer Vikas Singh has thanked all the well wishers globally for their continuous support in the high-profile death case.

The statement read, “We, Sushant’s family, thank our friends, well-wishers, media, and millions of fans worldwide for their love for Sushant and support for us.

We are particulary thankful to Shri Nitish Kumar, Hon’ble Chief Minister, Bihar for setting the wheel of justice in motion.

Now that the country’s premier investigating agency has taken over, we believe that all those involved in the dastardly crime will be brought to justice.

We believe that public trust in institutions is important. Today’s development has reaffirmed our faith in India as a robust democracy. We love our country more than ever.”

Upon hearing the verdict earlier, Rajput’s sister, Shweta Singh Kirti tweeted:

Congratulations to my extended Family!! So happy… first step towards victory and unbiased investigation. #JusticeforSushantSingRajput #OurfullfaithonCBI
