A video of Arun Yadav shared by news agency ANI has him saying, "He was not a Rajput, a descendant of Maharana Pratap cannot die by suicide... We are sad. He should not have died by suicide. He was a Rajput, he should have fought back." This statement hasn't gone down well with many of Rajput's fans who are lashing out at the political leader. Several other politicians too have condemned Arun Yadav's statement.
Talking about the case, the Central Bureau of Investigation is currently conducting its probe with Rhea Chakraborty being the prime accused in the case. The Narcotics Control Bureau too has come into action after a drug angle emerged during the Enforcement Directorate's course of investigation.
