CBI questions Sushant's flat-mate for seventh day in row

The CBI on Thursday (August 27) questioned Sushant Singh Rajput’s flat-mate Siddharth Pithani for the seventh consecutive day in the actor’s death case, a police official said.

Pithani arrived, in a cab, at the DRDO guest house at Kalina in Santacruz, where the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officials are staying, around 9 am.
