According to Times Now, the petition states that the SC should fix a time frame for the completion of the investigation and direct the CBI to submit a report in the matter. They cited the petition that read, “This Hon’ble Court passed an order for CBI enquiry on 19th of August 2020 and despite lapsing of almost four months the Central Bureau of Investigation is yet to conclude its investigation and all the eager family members, fans, well-wishers of the late actor are yet to get a solace regarding the exact reason of the death of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The Central Bureau of Investigation is not acting responsible in the present case and there is a delay in the conclusion of the investigation of the case. Even in serious offences like murder the law stipulates filing of charge sheets in ninety days but in the present case the premium investigating agency has failed miserably in their role and the unnecessary delay in the present case is bringing bad name to the administration of justice not only in our country but across the globe. The petitioner therefore, is approaching this Hon’ble Court seeking its intervention.”

Sushant Singh Rajput was 34 years old and his last onscreen appearance was ‘Chhichhore’. The Nitesh Tiwari directorial featured Shraddha Kapoor as the leading lady opposite Sushant.
