In an interaction with ANI on Saturday, Sushant’s father, K.K. Singh, expressed his hope of finding justice for his son under the new Maharashtra government.
“I hope that whatever comes out of the court will be right. And hopefully, it will come out soon. We hoped for justice with the CBI, but it didn’t do its job on time. Now that it has come to the court, there is a hope that justice will be obtained. It is expected that the government is good. Whatever the current CM will do will be well and good. Yes, there is a lot of hope,” he told ANI.
The actor’s father said it was a very emotional phase in his life after losing his son so early. He further reiterated that his son couldn’t have died by suicide.
“It is natural to have an emotional moment of five years. There was only one boy. This happened to him. One can imagine what will happen to the father. We also listened to the media [On MLA Aditya Thackeray mention] but we don’t know what the reality is. Now, it will be decided in the court about what the matter is. Those people will know. We can say that Sushant Singh would not have committed suicide,” said K.K. Singh.
