The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has officially filed its closure report in the high-profile Sushant Singh Rajput death case, marking a significant development in the investigation that captured national attention for years. The report submitted to a local court brings a formal conclusion to the probe that began in 2020.
What the Closure Report Means
According to legal experts familiar with the case, a closure report indicates that the investigating agency did not find sufficient evidence to proceed with criminal charges. The CBI's comprehensive investigation, which included forensic analysis and multiple witness statements, ultimately led to this conclusion.
Showik Chakraborty's Alleged Reaction
Sources close to the Chakraborty family suggest that Showik Chakraborty, Rhea Chakraborty's brother who was previously arrested in connection with the case, has maintained a stoic silence regarding the recent developments. Insiders reveal that the family has chosen to refrain from public statements, preferring to let the legal process take its course.
"The Chakraborty family has endured immense public scrutiny and media attention throughout this ordeal," shared a confidential source. "They believe their silence speaks volumes about their confidence in the judicial system."

Public and Media Reaction
The development has sparked mixed reactions across social media platforms and news channels.

The Bollywood industry, which remained largely divided throughout the investigation, has yet to see unified response to the closure report.
Legal experts emphasize that the filing of a closure report doesn't necessarily mean the case is permanently closed. The court has the authority to either accept the report or direct further investigation if new evidence emerges.
