Siddarth Pithani, an actor and filmmaker who majorly works in the Telugu film industry, was rooming with Sushant since April 2019. He was also the Creative Manager of the late actor. Pithani reportedly received death threats from several fans and followers of the actor post his demise, alleging that he conspired to eliminate him.
Pithani was reportedly in Hyderabad when Sushant’s family filed a case in Patna. In an interview conducted by a news channel in Mumbai, a family friend of the actor revealed that Pithani told her that he felt interrogation of Mumbai Police was like therapy to him. “He also shared that he was happy with the way the Mumbai police was conducting the preliminary enquiry,” shared the family friend, implying that Pithani is a suspect who was let go with basic questioning.
Meanwhile, Pithani claimed that he had known the actor only as a friend and that he was not aware of his battle with depression. Reacting to the allegations that pages from the actor’s diary were missing, Pithani said that Sushant had a habit of tearing out pages himself. Siddharth had reportedly registered a complaint with the Hyderabad police with regard to the threats he has been receiving.
