Sushant’s family lawyer, Vikas Singh told India Today that he suspects a larger conspiracy.
“I think there’s something very sinister in this entire episode and it appears that there is the involvement of some big people in the case. The first thing that should happen is the suspension of Mumbai Commissioner of Police and DCP of that area,” Vikas Singh said.
