Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was discovered dead in a Mumbai apartment that had been vacant for two and a half years. Real estate broker Rafique Merchant recently shared a video of the apartment and stated that it is available for rent for Rs 5 lakh per month.
Additionally, Merchant disclosed that the NRI who owns the apartment is not interested in renting it to celebrities and instead seeks corporate individuals as a renter. The apartment is still empty. Therefore, it appears that this needs to be fixed.
He said, "People are afraid to move into this flat," while speaking. Prospective tenants would refuse to even see the apartment once they learned it was where he died. Since the story of his passing has gotten old, at least some people are visiting the apartment these days. The agreement still needs to be completed. Narrow and unwilling to reduce the rent is the owner's as well. It will be immediately sold if he does. Tenants prefer purchasing another apartment of comparable size in the same neighborhood since it would not come with the baggage of controversy that this apartment is linked with, especially when he is selling it at market value.
On June 14, 2020, Sushant Singh Rajput died in the apartment. The Mumbai Police first determined that it was a suicide. During the COVID-19 lockdown, he lived in the apartment he had rented for Rs 4.5 lakh per month since December 2019 with his roommate, the actress Rhea Chakraborty.
The Central Bureau of Investigation looked into his death's financial and drug-related aspects, along with the Enforcement Directorate and the Narcotics Control Bureau.
