After his lawyer Vikas Singh, Sushant Singh Rajput’s father K.K Singh has now spoken for the first time, claiming that he had approached the Bandra police on 25 February, 2020 expressing concerns over his son’s well being. A few hours after K.K. Singh’s video went viral, Mumbai police has issued a press release acknowledging receiving a Whats App message from Rajput’s brother-in-law OP Singh, but the Rajput family never lodged an official complaint at the Bandra Police Station.
