Sushant Singh Rajput’s kin threatens to sue Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut

PATNA: The spat between the family members of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput and Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut intensified on Monday. Sushant’s cousin and BJP MLA Neeraj Kumar Singh Bablu has threatened to take legal action against Raut for alleging that the actor was unhappy with his father, K K Singh, for his second marriage.
Bablu, who represents the Chhatapur assembly constituency in Supaul district, said Raut should apologise or be ready to face legal action for defaming the family of Sushant.
He added Raut’s allegation that the actor’s father got married twice was baseless. In a weekly column in the party’s mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, Raut had accused Sushant’s father of marrying for the second time after the death of his first wife. “The second marriage of his father was not acceptable to Sushant,” Raut claimed.
Sushant’s maternal uncle R C Singh also rubbished Raut’s allegation. “There is not an iota of truth in Raut’s claim. This is just a figment of imagination and a deliberate attempt to mislead the probe and shield the perpetrators of the crime,” Singh said.
Raut, who had been opposing the CBI probe into Sushant case from the very beginning, also didn’t spare the Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey and described him as an ‘agent of the BJP’. The DGP preferred to reply to the Shiv Sena leader in poetic style. “Chahe mujhe gaali do lekin Sushant ko nyay milna chahiye,” he tweeted on Sunday night.
Meanwhile, Congress functionary Sanjay Nirupam, who has his roots in Bihar, said the Shiv Sena MP was talking ‘cheap’ things about Sushant’s family. Nirupam said each family has some stories and even the families of Shiv Sena leaders are no different. “Sushant’s untimely death is a sensitive issue and the Shiv Sena should realise it,” he added.
