Just recently, the Enforcement Directorate recorded the statement of the late Sushant Singh Rajput’s father KK Singh in Faridabad where he was asked to provide evidence regarding the allegations against Rhea Chakraborty. The latest development suggests that KK Singh has now released a statement where he clearly mentioned that he is the 'legal heir' of his late son and that no lawyer, chartered accountant, or any other person is allowed to represent Sushant without his consent. This comes after mentioning how some lawyers have appeared in the media claiming themselves to be lawyers engaged by Sushant, as reported by CNN News 18.
The full statement read, "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 came 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 anyone 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."
