Nearly, five years after Sushant's death, the closure has been filed in a Mumbai Court which will now decide whether to accept the report or order further probe by the agency, the officials said, PTI reported.

On June 14, 2020, Sushant was found dead at his Bandra residence which caused a huge controversy and resulted to the handover of the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation. 

The actor's postmortem was conducted at Mumbai's Cooper Hospital and it stated that the cause of death was asphyxia. 

The actor was seen in movies like Kai Po Che, MS Dhoni The Untold Story, Shuddh Desi Romance, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!, Chhichhore, and Dil Bechara, among others.

The CBI had taken over the investigation from Bihar Police which had registered an abetment of suicide case on a complaint filed in Patna by actor's father K K Singh.

During the investigation, the CBI recorded the statements of Rhea Chakraborty, the rumoured girlfriend of Sushant, and others in his close circle, and collected the actor's medical records.
