Siddharth Pithani is one of the eye-witnesses present in the house during Sushant Singh Rajput's mysterious death. After the actor's death, he had disappeared from Mumbai and even deleted his then-active Instagram account. However, in April 2021, he had created a new Instagram account, and, through it, NCB had tracked him.
According to a report in Economic Times, Siddharth Pithani filed a bail plea through his advocate, Taraq Sayyad. The accused told the courts that he is getting married on June 26, 2021. Pithani also claimed that he had been falsely framed in the matter.
Siddharth Pithani has been booked under section 27-A (financing illicit traffic and harbouring offenders) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, among other charges. However, the court has postponed the matter for hearing on June 16, 2021.
