Frustrated with delay, Sushant's sister Shweta asks 'How long will it take to find truth?'

Sushant Singh Rajput’s family, which has been waiting to get justice in the later actor’s death case, have expressed frustration over the delay in finding the truth despite a threefold investigation initiated in the matter. Sushant’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti on Friday said that her family has been patient with the ongoing probe for too long and asked how much longer it would take to find the truth behind Sushant’s death.

Shweta was responding to a tweet by her family lawyer Vikas Singh where he claimed that the premier agency was ‘delaying’ the conversion of the case from abetment to suicide to murder. Singh stated that a doctor from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) team that is working on the forensic report of the case, had told him, on the basis of the photos of his mortal remains, that SSR’s death was 'caused by strangulation.'
