Ankita Lokhande Says She Never Said Sushant Singh Rajput Was Murdered

Mumbai: Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s former girlfriend Ankita Lokhande on Wednesday claimed that she never said Sushant was “murdered” but wants justice for her “late friend” and family.

Thirty-four-year-old Sushant was found dead in his Bandra apartment in June. His death sparked a political row and led to the arrest of another actor and Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty.

Following Rhea’s arrest, Ankita tweeted, “Nothing happens by chance, by fate. You create your own fate by your actions. That’s Karma.”

Now Ankita has opened up about her reasons to stand with Sushant’s family and shared a statement on her social media handles.

“I again clarify, for the reason time and again being asked by the media to me on whether I feel it’s a murder or suicide? I have never said it’s a murder or anyone in particular is responsible.

“I always have encouraged justice for my late friend SSR and stood by the bereaved family and truth should be brought out by the investigating agencies,” Ankita wrote in her statement.
