SSR Family Lawyer on Rhea’s Mortuary visit
In a statement to ANI, SSR’s Family Lawyer commented on Rhea’s Mortuary visit –
“Rhea going to mortuary is very suspicious as she had no relationship with Sushant Singh on day of his death. Mumbai police will have to answer how did they allow her to enter before postmortem. There’s a possibility of tampering with evidence.”
He went on to ask, “After having left the house with all the valuables, what right did she have to be at the morgue? If she had gone there, the cops will have to do a lot of explaining as to how they allowed her to go there when the sister was there and was not called for any legal requirement.”
Mumbai Police officials were also snapped leaving Sushant’s Bandra residence today.
According to a report in Times Now, CBI team will also be will be visiting Sushant’s Bandra residence any time now to recreate crime scene.
