Patna:
Five relatives of actor Sushant Singh Rajput have died in an accident in Bihar.
Those killed in the accident included OP Singh’s brother-in-law, Rajput’s brother-in-law and other relatives. Mr. Singh is an IPS officer currently appointed as ADGP, Haryana.
According to reports, Mr Singh’s sister died in Patna yesterday. Funeral rites were underway on the same day and her family members were on their way to Jamui this morning when the accident happened. The driver of the SUV they were in is believed to have fallen asleep at the wheel and the vehicle crashed into a truck carrying LPG cylinders on the Sikandra-Sheikhpura road.
Mr. Singh’s brother-in-law Laljit Singh, Amit Shekhar Singh, Ramchandra Singh, DG Kumari and driver Pritam Kumar died on the spot. The four people injured in the crash were transported to Patna for treatment.
Following the incident, Minister Bihar and Rajput’s relative Neeraj Singh Bablu went to Jamui to meet family members of those killed in the accident.
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai apartment on June 14, 2020.
The investigations into his death became mired in controversies that led to a political rift between Bihar and Mumbai Police and a multi-agency investigation involving the CBI, Food Bureau and the Drug Control Bureau (NCB).
The case also sparked an uproar over an alleged Bollywood-drug relationship and the NCB accused 33 people, including actor and Rajput’s partner Rhea Chakraborty, of being involved in a “ghost organization” drugs”. Ms. Chakraborty, who was arrested in connection with the case, was released on bail last October.
