Sushant Singh Rajput death: Bihar police records statements of six persons, including Ankita Lokhande

The Bihar police team, which is in Mumbai to investigate an "abetment to suicide" case related to the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has so far recorded the statements of six persons, an official said on Saturday.

The four-member Bihar police team arrived in Mumbai on Wednesday to probe the 'abetment to suicide' case registered against Rajput's friend, actress Rhea Chakraborty, and others in Patna.

"Till now, the police team from Bihar has met the late actor's friends, colleagues, and relatives. They have recorded the statements of six persons- Rajput's sister, who stays in Versova, former girlfriend Ankita Lokhande, a cook, his friends, and colleagues," the official said.

The police team is also likely to question the members of Rajput's staff, he said, adding that some of them had been changed.

"They also gathered information about Rajput's various bank accounts and also visited the banks to look into the financial transactions," he said.

The visiting team had on Friday gone to the Crime Branch office to submit an application seeking assistance from the Mumbai Police in probing the case.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on 5 August a plea filed by Chakraborty, who has sought transfer of the FIR lodged against her.

The actress has said in her plea that she was in a live-in relationship with Rajput and has been in deep trauma due to the death of the actor and moreover getting rape and death threats.

"It is pertinent to mention that the deceased and petitioner were in a live-in relationship since a year up till 8 June, 2020 when the petitioner had temporarily shifted to her own residence in Mumbai," she has said in her plea.

Chakraborty has also said in her plea that, "The deceased (Rajput) was suffering from depression for some time and was also on anti-depressants and he committed suicide on the morning of 14 June, 2020 at his Bandra residence by hanging himself."

She has said in her plea that it becomes abundantly clear that the commencement of investigation in Patna is erroneous in absence of any cause of action having arisen at Patna.

Krishna Kumar Singh (74), Rajput's father, had lodged a complaint against Chakraborty and six others, including her family members, for alleged abetment to suicide, in Patna on Tuesday.

The Patna case was registered under various IPC sections including 341 (wrongful restraint), 342 (wrongful confinement), 380 (theft in dwelling house), 406 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating) and 306 (abetment of suicide).

Singh accused Chakraborty, a budding TV and film actor, of having befriended his son in May 2019 with the intention of furthering her own career.

Singh has also filed a caveat in the apex court seeking to be heard before any order is passed on Chakraborty's plea.

A caveat is a pre-emptive legal measure taken to ensure that a party does not get any favourable order without a notice or a hearing accorded to the opponent.

Rajput was found hanging in his suburban Bandra apartment on 14 June. The Mumbai police, who are already investigating the alleged suicide by the actor, have questioned several people from the film industry in connection with the case.

Two people killed, three injured in Noida building collapse; authorities yet to ascertain cause

Noida: Two people were killed and three injured after a portion of a multi-storey building collapsed in Uttar Pradesh's Noida on Friday, police said.

The under-construction building is located in Sector 11 and belongs to a private firm. The incident took place around 7.30 pm, they said.

A large number of police personnel along with senior officers and teams of the fire department and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) were present on the spot for rescue operations.

"Five people have been rescued from the building. Two of them have died while three others have been hospitalised with injuries but they are out of danger," the district police said in a statement.

Taking cognisance of the incident, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asked Gautam Buddh Nagar Police Commissioner Alok Singh to reach the spot. He also asked Singh to ensure all victims are rescued and given proper treatment, according to an official statement released in Lucknow.

Singh said information was received this evening that a part of the building had collapsed during construction work.

"Teams of firefighters, police, district administration and ambulances reached the spot swiftly. The chief minister himself is monitoring the situation and a team of the NDRF has also been deployed for rescue work on his instructions," he told reporters after inspecting the incident site.

"Those rescued have been sent to hospital and the NDRF team is continuing the rescue operation. The NDRF has teams of (sniffer) dogs and technical squads on the ground and is highly equipped for the work. They are looking for survivors, if any," he added.

On the cause of the collapse, Singh said engineers and technical teams from the Noida Authority have reached the spot to ascertain the reason.

The front portion of the building collapsed due to the construction work. The office of a solar panel manufacturing firm is located on the floor on which the work was going on, according to senior officials at the site.

बॉडीगार्ड का खुलासा, 'बीमार सुशांत हमेशा सोते रहते थे, उनके पैसे खर्च कर रिया चक्रवर्ती घर पर पार्टियां देती रहती थीं'

सुशांत सिंह राजपूत के मौत के मामले में आए दिन नए खुलासे हो रहे हैं। पिछले हफ्ते सुशांत के पिता केके सिंह द्वारा बिहार में रिया चक्रवर्ती के खिलाफ सुसाइड के लिए उकसाने और धोखाधड़ी का केस दर्ज कराया गया जिसके बाद मामला और ज्यादा गरमा गया। बिहार पुलिस मामले की छानबीन करने के लिए मुंबई आ चुकी है और कई लोगों से पूछताछ जारी है। इस बीच सुशांत के बॉडीगार्ड ने एक इंटरव्यू में कई खुलासे किए हैं।

बीमार रहते थे सुशांत, रिया करती थीं पार्टी

बॉडीगार्ड ने रिपब्लिक टीवी को इंटरव्यू में कहा है कि सुशांत अक्सर बीमार रहते थे और ज्यादातर समय बेडरूम में सोते रहते थे। बॉडीगार्ड ने यह भी बताया कि सुशांत की लिव इन पार्टनर रिया चक्रवर्ती घर पर पार्टी देती रहती थीं जिसमें सुशांत का पैसा इस्तेमाल होता था।

रिया पार्टी में मशगूल रहती थीं और सुशांत बेडरूम में सोते रहते थे। सुशांत के घर पर ऑर्गनाइज की जाने वाली पार्टियों में रिया के अलावा उनके पिता और भाई भी हिस्सा लेते थे।

बॉडीगार्ड ने आगे यह भी बताया कि पिछले कुछ महीनों से सुशांत की फैमिली उनके टच में नहीं थी, ना ही फैमिली का कोई सदस्य सुशांत से मिलने के लिए आ सकते था।

बदल गई थी सुशांत की लाइफस्टाइल

बॉडीगार्ड ने कहा, 'रिया के आने के बाद पिछले एक साल में सुशांत की लाइफस्टाइल में काफी बदलाव आया था। सुशांत दवाइयां लेने के बाद पूरा टाइम सोते ही रहते थे, मुझे ओवरडोज के बारे में नहीं पता। पिछले साल यूरोप ट्रिप से जब वो वापस लौटे थे तो वह बीमार ही थे, हमेशा बिस्तर पर ही पड़े रहते थे लेकिन पहले ऐसा नहीं था। पहले वह काफी एक्टिव हुआ करते थे। स्वीमिंग, रनिंग और जिमिंग उनकी लाइफ का हिस्सा थीं।'

इंटरव्यू में बॉडीगार्ड ने यह भी बताया कि सुशांत के साथ रिलेशनशिप में आने के बाद रिया ने उनके पूरे स्टाफ को बदल दिया था और केवल वही बचे थे जो सुशांत के साथ जुड़े हुए थे। वह चाहते हैं कि मामले की गंभीर जांच हो और सुशांत को न्याय मिले।

Gurugram: Police watch as cow vigilantes assault man on suspicion of transporting beef; one arrested

One person has been arrested the day after a video of police watching a man being assaulted, allegedly by cow vigilantes, in Gurugram went viral on social media on Friday, according to several media reports.

Lukman, a 25-year-old meat seller, assaulted over the suspicion of transporting cow meat, is undergoing treatment for several fractures at a hospital but is reportedly stable as per The Hindu.

One person, identified as 26-year-old Pradeep Yadav, has been arrested, as per Indian Express.  “So far, Yadav does not appear to be linked to any fringe elements or political party. Investigation is on to nab the other accused,” Gurugram police spokesperson Subhash Boken told the newspaper.

Boken told The Hindu that the motive behind the attack is not clear, but it could be prompted by suspicion over transportation of beef. The assailants have been booked for rioting, unlawful assembly, causing grievous hurt and wrongful confinement, among others, as per the newspaper.

Lukman, hailing from Mewat, reached Gurugram’s Sector 4-5 chowk at 9 am with a shipment of buffalo meat when youths on five two-wheelers began chasing him,as per The Times of India.

“There were eight to 10 men. They shouted at me to stop my vehicle. Fearing for my safety, I sped up. I had just stopped my vehicle in Sadar Bazar when the men reached me and pulled me out of the truck. They thrashed me with iron rods saying that I was transporting cow meat,” Lukman told police, as per The Times of India.

 

Lukman was chased for around eight kilometres before being stopped and beaten as police and onlookers watched, according to NDTV. Lukman was then bundled back into his truck, taken to Haryana’s Badshahpur village and further beaten as per the report.

He, however, managed to call the man who owned the Jama Masjid market shop where the meat was to be delivered. While Lukman was being beaten by sticks and hammers, the shop owner Tahir Qureshi called the police four times but to no avail, The Hindu reported.

Soon after, a police team followed the truck to the village and rescued Lukman even as the assailants damaged their vehicle, attacked the police and fled.

As per NDTV, the samples of the meat have been sent to a forensic lab for examination. The owner of the vehicle told NDTV that he has been in the business for 50 years and that the meat is buffalo.

अभिनेता के फैमिली लॉयर विकास सिंह का दावा- 25 जुलाई तक खुद सिद्धार्थ दे रहे थे रिया के खिलाफ जानकारी, अचानक उनका व्यवहार बदल गया

पिछले दिनों सुशांत सिंह राजपूत के दोस्त सिद्धार्थ पिठानी ने आरोप लगाया था कि अभिनेता की फैमिली उन पर रिया चक्रवर्ती के खिलाफ बयान देने का दबाव बना रही है। इस पर सुशांत के फैमिली लॉयर विकास सिंह ने कड़ी प्रतिक्रिया दी है। उनकी मानें तो 25 जुलाई तक सिद्धार्थ खुद सुशांत के परिवार को रिया के खिलाफ जानकारी दे रहे थे। लेकिन उसके बाद उसका व्यवहार बदल गया।

टाइम्स ऑफ इंडिया से बातचीत में विकास ने कहा, "25 जुलाई तक वह परिवार के संपर्क में था और यह कहते हुए मदद की कोशिश कर रहा था कि सुशांत के साथ जो हुआ, उसके लिए रिया चक्रवर्ती जिम्मेदार है। अचानक से उसका व्यव्हार बदल गया। मुझे नहीं पता कि क्या हुआ? लेकिन उम्मीद है कि पुलिस जल्दी ही मामले की तह तक जाएगी और पता लगा लेगी कि इस केस में पिठानी की क्या भूमिका है और उनके पास ऐसी कौन-सी जानकारी है, जो उन्होंने साझा नहीं की।"

यह है सिद्धार्थ पिठानी का आरोप

दरअसल, रिया चक्रवर्ती ने सुप्रीम कोर्ट में एक याचिका दायर कर अपने खिलाफ पटना में दर्ज केस को मुंबई शिफ्ट कराने की अपील की है। इसमें उन्होंने यह दावा किया है कि सिद्धार्थ पिठानी ने मुंबई पुलिस को मेल कर सुशांत के परिवार द्वारा उन पर दबाव बनाए जाने की बात कही है। सिद्धार्थ मेल के मुताबिक, सुशांत के फैमिली मेंबर्स और एक सीनियर आईपीएस ने उन्हें कॉल किया। 22 और 27 जुलाई को ये कॉल आए और उनसे कहा गया कि वे अपने बयान में सुशांत के अकांउट से रिया द्वारा 15 करोड़ रुपए के ट्रांजेक्शन की बात कहें।

पिठानी ने रिया को मेल भेजा, तो उनकी विश्वसनीयता पर संदेह: सिंह

सिद्धार्थ के मेल को लेकर विकास सिंह कहते हैं, "यह बहुत ही सरप्राइजिंग है। अगर यह मेल मुंबई पुलिस को किया गया था तो फिर रिया तक कैसे पहुंचा? जब यह मेल पब्लिक लाइट में आया, तब तक रिया को एक एफआईआर में आरोपी बनाया जा चुका था। इसलिए इस बात पर सवाल ही नहीं उठता कि यह पुलिस ने उनके साथ साझा किया है। अगर पिठानी ने यह रिया को भेजा था तो फिर उनकी विश्वसनीयता पर संदेह है।"

'सिद्धार्थ ने ही सबसे पहले देखी थी सुशांत की डेड बॉडी'

विकास सिंह ने आगे पिठानी को घेरते हुए कहा, "यह लड़का (सिद्धार्थ) सुशांत के साथ ही रहता था और इसने ही सबसे पहले उनकी डेड बॉडी देखी थी। इसलिए जब उन्होंने दरवाजा बंद पाया तो उन्होंने उसे तब तक नहीं खोला, जब तक कि उनकी बहन नहीं आ गई। उसने डेढ़ घंटे तक इंतजार किया।"

मुझे इस 15 करोड़ के बारे में कोई जानकारी नहीं : सिद्धार्थ
शुक्रवार को एएनआई से बातचीत में सिद्धार्थ ने कहा था, "सुशांत के फैमिली मेंबर्स ने मुझे बताया कि रिया ने 15 करोड़ रुपए का ट्रांजेक्शन किया है और मुझे अपने बयान में इसे शामिल करने को कहा। मैंने उन्हें जवाब दिया कि मैं सिर्फ वही कहूंगा, जो मैं जानता हूं और जिस पर मुझे यकीन है।

मैं उनसे सुशांत की मौत के बाद मिला था। लेकिन अचानक आए इस बदलाव के बारे मैं नहीं जानता। इसके बाद मैंने पुलिस संपर्क किया और सबकुछ बता दिया। उन्होंने मुझे ईमेल एड्रेस दिया और जानकारी साझा करने को कहा। मैंने पुलिस को बताया कि सुशांत की फैमिली मुझे कुछ इस तरह का बयान देने के लिए कह रही है। काश कि मैं हकीकत में इस ट्रांजेक्शन के बारे में जानता होता। मैं बयान दे देता। मुझे इस 15 करोड़ के बारे में कोई जानकारी नहीं है।"

बिहार पुलिस की टीम 'दिल बेचारा' के कलाकारों से करेगी पूछताछ, रिया चक्रवर्ती से फिर संपर्क करने की कोशिश; सुशांत के फ्लैट को भी खंगाला

अभिनेता सुशांत सिंह राजपूत मामले में जांच के लिए मुंबई पहुंची बिहार पुलिस आज अभिनेता की आखिरी फिल्म ‘दिल बेचारा’ में काम कर चुके कलाकारों के स्टेटमेंट रिकॉर्ड करेगी। इससे पहले कल फिल्म निर्देशक मुकेश छाबड़ा से भी बिहार पुलिस के लोगों ने बात की थी। बिहार पुलिस यह जानना चाहती है कि आखिरी फिल्म की शूटिंग के दौरान सेट पर माहौल कैसा रहता था।

जानकारी के मुताबिक, इनमें फिल्म में काम कर चुके साहिल वैद भी शामिल हैं। इसके अलावा सुशांत के नए ड्राइवर और स्टाफ से भी पूछताछ होगी। बिहार पुलिस अभिनेत्री संजना संघी से भी फोन पर पूछताछ कर सकती हैं। संजना फिलहाल दिल्ली में अपने परिवार के साथ हैं। इसके अलावा बिहार पुलिस आज रिया चक्रवर्ती और उनके भाई से भी पूछताछ का प्रयास करेगी। इस केस में बिहार पुलिस उस डायरेक्टर से भी पूछताछ करेगी, जिसके साथ सुशांत जल्द काम करने वाले थे। पुलिस ये जानना चाहती हैं कि अगर सुशांत मानसिक तौर पर अस्वस्थ थे तो नई फिल्म की स्टोरी पर बातचीत कैसे करते थे?

हाउस कीपर और उनके बैंकर से पूछताछ

बिहार टीम ने शुक्रवार को सुंशात के घर के हाउस कीपर और उनका निजी खाता संभालने वाले एक बैंकर से पूछताछ की थी। सूत्रों की मानें तो हाउस कीपर ने बताया कि बिना अभिनेत्री एवं सुशांत की गर्लफ्रेंड रिया चक्रवर्ती की इजाजत के बिना घर में दाखिल नहीं हो सकता था और न ही सुशांत से मिल सकता था। यहां तक कि सुशांत के कमरे में जाने तक की मनाही थी।

सुशांत के फ्लैट पर पहुंचकर बिहार पुलिस ने की है जांच

जिस फ्लैट में 14 जून काे अभिनेता सुशांत सिंह राजपूत की मौत हुई थी, शुक्रवार काे पटना पुलिस वहां भी पहुंची। सुशांत के नाैकर नीरज, अपार्टमेंट के गार्ड, सोसाइटी मैनेजर और जमीन मालिक से पूछताछ की। सुशांत और रिया के रिलेशन के साथ ही यह जानकारी ली कि यहां काैन-काैन लाेग कब-कब आते थे। वहां रहने वाले और आसपास के लाेगाें से भी पूछताछ की। सूत्रों के अनुसार, सुशांत के फ्लेट से कुछ चीजें पुलिस अपने साथ ले गई हैं जिसकी जांच करेगी।

कूपर हॉस्पिटल भी पहुंची टीम बिहार पुलिस

सुशांत का आरएन कूपर म्युनिसिपल हॉस्पीटल में पोस्टमार्टम करने वाले डॉक्टर के पास भी एसआईटी टीम पहुंची। हालांकि डॉक्टर ने पोस्टमार्टम रिपोर्ट से संबंधित कुछ भी बताने से इनकार कर दिया। डॉक्टर का कहना था कि पहले ही उन्होंने मुंबई पुलिस को सुशांत की पोस्टमार्टम रिपोर्ट दे दी है। अगर एसआईटी चाहे तो मुंबई पुलिस से पोस्टमार्टम रिपोर्ट ले सकती है।

मुकेश छाबड़ा ने पुलिस को दिया यह बयान

बिहार पुलिस सूत्रों के मुताबिक, मुकेश छाबड़ा ने बिहार पुलिस को बताया की डेढ़ साल पहले फिल्म की शूटिंग हो चुकी थी उसके बाद एडिटिंग का काम चल रहा था। उन्होंने कहा कि तब सुशांत मानसिक तौर पर ठीक लगता था, लेकिन रिया चक्रवर्ती के लाइफ में आने के बाद सुशांत की लाइफ में बदलाव आया था। वहीं, सुशांत सिंह की अपने फ्रेंड महेश शेट्टी से 10 महीने बाद मई में आखिरी बार मिले थे।

इन बिंदुओं पर बिहार पुलिस कर रही है जांच

• बैंक खातों में कितने रुपए थे और ये कहां और कब ट्रांसफर किए गए, इसकी भी जांच की जा रही है।
• रिया चक्रवर्ती की इसमें क्या भूमिका है? 15 करोड़ को लेकर रिया की कंपनी की जांच भी होगी।
• सुशांत के डिप्रेशन की बात में कितनी सच्चाई है।
• सुशांत के करीबी लोगों से इस संबंध में जानकारी इकट्ठा करने का प्रयास किया जा रहा है।

बाडीगार्ड से हो सकता है पूछताछ

बिहार पुलिस इससे पहले सुशांत के दोस्त मुकेश शेट्टी, उनकी पूर्व गर्लफ्रेंड अंकिता लोखंडे से भी पूछताछ कर चुकी है। सुशांत के बॉडी गार्ड ने भी इस मामले में चुप्पी तोड़ी है और एक चैनल को दिए इंटरव्यू में उन्होंने कहा है कि सुशांत सुसाइड नहीं कर सकते। उनका खर्च बेहद कम था।

बिहार पुलिस ने मुंबई पुलिस को लिखा पत्र

मीडिया रिपोर्ट्स के मुताबिक, मुंबई और बिहार पुलिस के बीच इस मामले को लेकर जारी खींचतान के बीच पटना के एसीपी ने बांद्रा के डीसीपी को पत्र लिखा हैं, जिसमें उन्होंने गाड़ी उपलब्ध करने के साथ टीम में एक महिला पुलिसकर्मी मुहैया कराने की बात कही है।

Delhi govt's sero-survey to begin from tomorrow

The next sero-prevalence survey is scheduled to be conducted from 1-5 August.

Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain had on 22 July announced that after analysing the results of the last survey, it was decided that more such exercises would be undertaken every month to formulate better policies for tackling the COVID-19 situation in the city.

A senior government official said 15,000 samples would be collected over a span of five days and the survey would kickstart in four districts, including north and northwest Delhi.

It would follow the same protocol as that of the survey conducted earlier by the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).

All CDMOs will be tasked with carrying out the survey in their districts. Random people will be tested for antibodies.

The health department has prepared a detailed plan under which every district medical officer has been asked to conduct the survey in their respective jurisdictions, officials said.

The last sero-prevalence survey was conducted by the Delhi government in association with the NCDC from 27 June to 10 July.

UK PM halts lockdown easing

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday applied brakes on further easing of lockdown measures, due from this weekend, in England, fearing a spike in the COVID-19 cases.

Addressing a briefing at Downing Street in London, Johnson said, "we must squeeze the brake pedal" to keep the virus under control and also announced that face coverings will become mandatory across many more indoor settings, such as cinemas, besides just public transport and shops and supermarkets.

"The prevalence of the virus in the community, in England, is likely to be rising for the first time since May," said Johnson, referring to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) data.

“That means until August 15 at the earliest casinos, bowling alleys, skating rinks and the remaining close-contact services must remain closed. Indoor performances will not resume, pilots of larger gatherings in sports venues and conference centres will not take place, and wedding receptions of up to 30 people will not be permitted," he said.

The UK PM insisted that progress against coronavirus continues, with the daily and weekly number of deaths falling, but warned that some European countries are "struggling" to control it.

“The UK must be ready to react," he said.
