Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case: Court Dismisses Look Out Notice Against Late Actor's Ex-House Help
In February this year, the Bombay High Court also quashed Look Out Circulars issued against actress Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik and their father Lt Col. Indrajit Chakraborty.

The Bombay High Court has dismissed a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued against late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s former house help, Samuel Miranda. The LOC was filed against Miranda by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to prevent him from travelling abroad during the prosecution. However, Miranda recently sought to dismiss the plea saying he might “feel the need to travel abroad” for a holiday.

As reported by India Today, dismissing the Look Out notice, the Bombay High Court bench of Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Manjusha Deshpande argued that nothing was brought on record by CBI for the continuance of the LOC. “Admittedly, till date no report has been filed by the CBI, that is, either a charge sheet or a closure report. It is not in dispute that the petitioner has joined the investigation and has co-operated with the same,” the bench said.

The High Court bench further stated that the right to travel is a fundamental right and noted that “no apprehension that the petitioner will evade arrest or will not be available for trial, or is likely to abscond, or any other bonafide reason has been spelt out, in the said LOC.”

In February this year, the Bombay High Court also quashed Look Out Circulars issued against actress Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik and their father Lt Col. Indrajit Chakraborty in connection with the alleged drugs case which was filed after SSR’s death.

Sushant was then found dead in his Mumbai apartment in June 2020. While some suspected to be a case of death by suicide, others had alleged foul play.

In March this year, Sushant Singh Rajpur’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti issued a video statement and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to look into the CBI probe regarding her actor-brother’s death. In her statement, Shweta shared that it’s been 45 months since her brother passed away but they still do not have any update from the investigating agency. She argued that Prime Minister Modi’s help will not only fasten the probe but will also provide relief to “howling hearts”.

“Namastey. I am Shweta Singh Kirti. I am Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister. I am recording this message for our Prime Minister Modi ji. I wanted to bring to your attention that this is the 45th month of Bhai’s passing away and we still don’t know any updates on the investigation that is being conducted by the CBI. I would highly request your intervention into the matter because as a family and as a country, we are grappling with so many answered questions in this case,” Shweta Singh Kirti said.
