Patna:
Five relatives of actor Sushant Singh Rajput have died in an accident in Bihar.
Those killed in the accident include OP Singh’s brother-in-law, Rajput’s brother-in-law and other relatives. Shri Singh is an IPS officer presently posted as ADGP, Haryana.
As per reports, Mr Singh’s sister passed away in Patna yesterday. The last rites were performed on the same day and his family members were on their way to Jamui this morning when the accident took place. The driver of the SUV in which they were traveling fell asleep at the wheel and the vehicle rammed a truck carrying LPG cylinders on the Sikandra-Sheikhpura road.
Singh’s brother-in-law Laljit Singh, Amit Shekhar Singh, Ramchandra Singh, DG Kumari and driver Pritam Kumar died on the spot. Four people injured in the accident have been referred to Patna for treatment.
After the incident, Bihar minister and Rajput’s relative Neeraj Singh Bablu went to Jamui to meet the families of those killed in the accident.
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14, 2020.
The investigation into his death was mired in controversy, which led to a politically charged standoff between the Bihar and Mumbai Police and a multi-agency probe involving the CBI, the Enforcement Directorate and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).
The case had also created an uproar over an alleged Bollywood-drugs nexus and the NCB had accused 33 people, including actor and Rajput’s partner Rhea Chakraborty, of being involved in a “drug syndicate”. Ms Chakraborty, who was arrested in this connection, got bail in October last year.
