Since June 14, when the 34-year-old actor was found hanging inside his house at Bandra, police have recorded the statements of more than 35 people, including his father, friends and co-actors. The police have registered an accidental death report in the case.

During their investigation, police had earlier sought information from the YRF on the contract signed by the late actor. The YRF’s casting director Shanoo Sharma’s statement has also been recorded by the Mumbai police.

“We are trying to ascertain whether there were any issues pertaining to his contract with the YRF,” said an officer.

On Thursday, actor Rhea Chakraborty posted on social media seeking a CBI probe in the matter. Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, however, has dismissed the demand for a CBI probe saying that the Mumbai Police are more than capable of handling this case.
