After filmmaker Aditya Chopra, now film critic Rajeev Masand has recorded his statement to the Mumbai Police in connection to Sushant Singh Rajput's death. The police were likely to question Masand about the reviews he had given to the actor's film, news agency PTI reported.
Some photos of Rajeev entering the police station to record his statement are circulating on social media.
After Sushant's demise, Masand had received flak from netizens after several of his blind items allegedly targeting Sushant, calling him a ‘skirt-chaser', apart from a story about #MeToo allegations, went viral.
People took to social media to post screenshots about the alleged blinds on Sushant that Masand had written.
As per the reports, the film critic will be questioned on these allegations.
Some Twitter users said that it is high time blind items in tabloids and other platforms be done away with:
Some time back, Aditya Chopra had reportedly told the Mumbai Police that Paani had been shelved due to creative differences between him and Shekhar Kapur and Sushant had nothing to do with it.
A number of people, including Sushant's friends, colleagues and psychiatrist have recorded their statements.
Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide on 14 June. The actor was 34.
