Actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who was found hanging in his Mumbai apartment on Sunday, had made four phone calls in his last few hours, as per Mumbai Police investigation. At 1.47 am, he had dialed his close friend Rhea Chakraborty, but she failed to receive the call. Within minutes, he phoned his close friend-actor Mahesh Shetty, who also did not take the call.
In the morning, just a few hours before Sushant committed suicide, Mahesh, on seeing the actor’s missed call, dialed him back. But Sushant failed to respond. Later, Mahesh learnt from the police that Sushant tried to call him at 9.30 am, but could not reach out to him.
As per the investigation, Sushant had a glass of pomegranate juice before breakfast. His cook Neeraj knocked on the door of his bedroom at 10.25 a.m. to ask about the menu for lunch. A friend of Sushant who was also present at his home, woke up at 11 am and enquired about the actor. He knocked on Sushant’s door but failing to get a response from him, the friend called him. They could hear the phone ringing from outside and after Sushant didn’t respond to the call, his sister Ritu was informed.
By the time Ritu arrived at Sushant’s residence, a staff member had already called a key-maker to open the bedroom door. Ritu narrated the incident to her husband, who is an official with the Haryana government. He immediately called up Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh for help.
At 12.25 pm, when they opened the bedroom, Sushant was found hanging from the ceiling. The doctor checked on him and he was declared dead.
Sushant, who was just 34, is survived by his father KK Singh and three sisters.
