Father of Sushant Singh Rajput, KK Singh has issued a strong statement related to the 'legal heir' of the actor and said that no lawyer, chartered accountant, or any other person is allowed to represent the Dil Bechara actor without his consent.
The statement of KK Singh comes after some 'lawyers' claimed to be engaged by Sushant gave statements in media without the consent of the family.
Here's the full statement:
"It is hereby declared that I am on the legal heir of late Shri Sushant Singh Rajput and in that capacity any arrangement that Sushant had during his lifetime for the engagement of any lawyer, Chartered accountant and other professional came to an end upon the death of Sushant and thereafter no lawyer, CA or other person is entitled to represent the estate of Sushant without my express consent.
Recently, some lawyers have appeared in the media claiming themselves to be lawyers engaged by Sushant. They have talked on media about the alleged privileged communication between Sushant and them. Clearly such disclosure is barred by section 126 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 and the Bar Council of India Rules [Rule 17, Part VI, Chapter II], without my consent, as I am representing the estate of Sushant. I have not given any consent to anyone of them to either continue them to represent Sushant or disclose any communication.
It is is also made clear that only I and my daughters comprise the family of Sushant and we have authorized MR Varun Singh as our Advocate and through him Mr. Vikas Singh, Sr. advocate, to represent the family. Any other person claiming himself to be the family member does not have any consent."
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court today ordered CBI probe into the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. While hearing the plea, the apex court said the obstructions for the Bihar Police team in Mumbai while investigating the Patna FIR registered by the deceased's father should have been avoided as it gave rise to suspicion on the bonafides of the Mumbai Police's inquiry.
While many see it as the first step towards real justice, people from all walks of life including Sushant's family members, friends, Bollywood and TV celebrities hailed the SC decision for CBI probe.
