Adv Vikas Singh’s claim that the statements recorded by Mumbai Police in Marathi may not be true version of witnesses, is without merit. Policeman mandatorily translates the verosion in language known to the maker and states so at the end of each statement
Vikas Singh, Sushant's family lawyer has said, "It will be better if the media doesn't comment on what the psychiatrist says about Sushant....this is a violation of patient doctor confidentiality. From the time Rhea came into SSR's life he has been anxious...but at no point was anyone informed about him being depressed."
He added, "It will take agencies to bring the investigations on track...the Mumbai police did not do enough when this case came to light...I am sure there will be some new revelations in the case soon."

Deputy Director of Operations (NCB) KPS Malhotra has reached Rhea Chakraborty's residence.
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) conducted raids on the residences of Rhea Chakraborty and Sushant Singh Rajput's close aide Samuel Miranda early morning on Friday. Teams of officers dressed in plain clothes arrived at the two venues and began search as provided under Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, NCB said.
An officer associated with the raids added, "It's just a procedural matter. That is what we are following. It is being done at Rhea's and Samuel Miranda's house." CNN News18 has learnt that Samuel and Showik Chakraborty's (Rhea's brother) names have come in interrogation of arrested people and the raids will aim to recover anything related to Sushant Singh Rajput death case.
Sushant was found dead in his Bandra flat on June 14. As the scope of the probe keeps increasing everyday since the Enforcement Directorate, CBI and the NCB joined in -- the drug angle has thrown up a number of leads. NCB Deputy Director KPS Malhotra told the media that the homes of Showik, who is Sushant's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty's brother and that of Miranda were being searched, but declined to elaborate.
Around 6:30 am, the NCB teams started the raids, which came a day after the Mumbai court sent alleged drug peddler Zaid Vilatra to seven-day NCB custody. The raids are being carried out under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. An NCB official said that the searches are routine and the drug law enforcement agency is following due procedures.
A strong posse of policemen were deployed outside the PrimRose housing society at Juhu Tara Road in Mumbai, the rented flat of the Chakrabortys.
Later, The NCB took Showik and Miranda for questioning at its office after conducting searches for two hours. Samuel was previously detained by an NCB team.
The Narcotics Control Bureau has been investigating a possible drug angle in the SSR death case after the Enforcement Directorate officials traced Rhea Chakraborty's WhatsApp chats which alleges her of "usage and dealing of banned drugs."
The NCB registered a case on August 26 after the Enforcement Directorate wrote to it. On the intervening night of August 27-28, the narco team carried out searches in Mumbai and two persons, namely Abbas Lakhani and Karan Arora were arrested, and 'bud' (curated marijuana) was recovered from their possession. There were a few mentions of 'bud' in purported social media messages between people involved in the case.
Sushant's manager Shruti Modi had reportedly informed the Central Bureau of Investigation that the late actor would often consume marijuana along with Rhea Chakraborty, who would smoke joints with SSR's house manager Samuel Miranda and her brother Showik Chakraborty regularly on Sushant's terrace, a CBI source indicated to CNN-News18.
