Sushant Singh Rajput’s Father Issues Fresh Statement On Who Can Represent The Actor

New Delhi: Sushant Singh Rajput’s father KK Singh on Wednesday issued a statement, barring lawyer, chartered accountant, or any other person from representing the Dil Bechara actor without his consent.

The statement came after some lawyers, who claimed to have been engaged by Sushant, gave statements to media without the consent of the family.

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 come 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 any one 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.”

The family had earlier issued a statement, thanking his millions of fans worldwide following the Supreme Court’s decision to order a CBI probe into his death.
