Was there a 'party' or some form of gathering at Sushant Singh Rajput’s residence the night before his death? Numerous theories about this 'party' had surfaced after the news of the actor’s death, also bringing focus details of the CCTV footage of the two days. Though one of the names under lens, Siddharth Pithani, and a neighbour had denied this, now Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nitesh Rane dug out a tweet of Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra Minister Anil Parab raising questions about this alleged coming together of people.

Nitesh Rane questions Shiv Sena leader on Sushant’s ‘party’

Nitesh Rane took to Twitter to question Anil Parab on his tweet from July 31. The politician had sought those aware about the details of Sushant’s death to help Mumbai Police with the details. He also questioned how a party could be held at Sushant’s house during a lockdown and asked details of those who attended this party.

Sharing a screenshot of the tweet in Marathi, Rane asked which party Parab had been about talking about and what did he know about it that could help in the probe of the death. The Maharashtra MLA cryptically asked if Parab was hinting about an ‘ex-actor’ who 'indirectly bagged a lot of contracts during COVID-19.' He also sought to match the mobile tower locations of the attendees of the party and that of Sushant on that night.

Rane spoke about there being a ‘buzz’ around jogger’s park about a minister’s convoy arriving on June 14 morning.

The leader demanded that Parab should ‘explain himself’ as SSR’s neighbour had claimed on Republic TV, that there was no party at the residence, and lights surprisingly were turned off earlier than usual.

Mumbai Police has received widespread flak for not registering an FIR after 40 days of investigation in the case, and for recording the statements of filmmakers over ‘professional rivalry’ rivalry.

Sushant's death

Sushant was found dead at his residence in Bandra on June 14. Like details of an alleged party the night before, numerous other inconsistent details about the death, like the marks on his neck, alleged injury on feet, contradictory versions of his height and distance between fan and bed, some of which have been captured in photos and videos have been one of the reasons for netizens taking on the ‘CBI for SSR’ and ‘Justice for SSR’ movements on a big scale. 

The CBI is still probing the case, with ED also investigating the embezzlement charges against accused Rhea Chakraborty, among others. Meanwhile, Rhea Chakraborty is set to be in jail till September 22 as Narcotics Control Bureau found evidence of her alleged involvement in a drug cartel amid probe into the SSR case. Republic's investigations have raised numerous questions and brought key evidence and testimonies to light, especially on the link between the Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Salian cases. Nitesh Rane is insistent that Disha Salian's fiance Rohan Rai is knowledgeable about the events on June 8 when Disha was 'murdered' (as per Rane).
