Ashok Saraogi, the lawyer of Sushant Singh Rajput’s former manager, Shruti Modi, has said that his client was aware of the actor’s drug use, and had expressed a desire to distance herself from it.After she told Sushant that she wanted to quit as his manager, the actor insisted that Shruti stay on, the lawyer said.
In an interview with The Times of India, Saraogi said, “When she found out about it (Sushant’s drug use) after 10 days of joining, Shruti decided to quit but Sushant told her to stay back and told her that he will not be a party to it.So she continued to work as his manager on this condition.”
He said that Shruti’s name has been dragged into the investigation because she refused to comply with certain demands made by Sushant’s family.“It is possible that she did not follow the instructions of the sister, so they may have some grievances.
They wanted certain account details from her which she declined to part with,” he said.
