Sushant Singh Rajput’s father KK Singh has declared that he is the late actor’s legal heir. In a statement released on Wednesday, Singh said that only he and his daughter comprise Sushant’s family and that the actor’s engagements with his lawyer, chartered accountant and other professionals ended with his death in June and no one can represent the actor's property without his consent.
"It is hereby declared that I am the legal heir of late Sushant Singh Rajput and in that capacity, any arrangement that Sushant had during his lifetime for the engagement of any lawyer, Chartered Accountant and other professionals came to an end upon the death of Sushant and thereafter no lawyer, Chartered Accountant or other person is entitled to represent the estate of Sushant without my express consent," Mr Singh said in a statement.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered CBI probe into Sushant’s death, and rejected actress Rhea Chakraborty’s plea to transfer the FIR from Patna to Mumbai. Rhea has been accused by Sushant’s father of abetting his suicide, siphoning off his funds, and more in his complaint lodged in Patna.
"It is also made clear that only I and my daughters comprise the family of Sushant and we have authorized Varun Singh (SKV Law Offices, Commercial) as our Advocate and through him Vikas Singh, Sr. Advocate, to represent the family. Any other person claiming himself to be family member does not have my consent," Singh added in the statement.
