Sushant Singh Rajput's sister appeals to PM Modi to look into actor's death case

In a letter to the PM, Shweta said, "Dear Sir, Somehow my heart says that you stand with and for the truth. We are from a very simple family. My brother had no Godfather when he was in Bollywood nor do we have anyone right now.

"My request to you is to immediately look into this case and make sure that everything is handled in a sanitized way and no evidence is tampered with. Expecting justice to prevail."

Sushant was found dead at his apartment in suburban Bandra on Jun 14. Police said he died by suicide.

There has been an increasing demand to hand over the case to the CBI.

The Bihar police have also initiated a probe into the case after Sushant's family filed a complaint accusing his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty of transferring money from his account and also mentally harassing him.

However, in a video released on Friday, actress Rhea Chakraborty said, "I have immense faith in God and the judiciary. I believe that I will get justice. Even though a lot of horrible things are being said about me on the electronic media, I refrain from commenting on the advice of my lawyers as the matter is sub-judice."

Her statement came even after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) registered a money laundering case against her and others over the "suspicious" transaction of Rs 15 crore.
