Sushant Singh Rajput's father KK Singh in the video revealed that he had informed Mumbai police in February that his son's life was in danger.
He said,"On February 25, I informed Bandra Police that the life of my son Sushant is in danger. He died on June 14 and I asked them to act against people named in my Feb 25 complaint. No action has been taken even 40 days after his death. So, I filed FIR in Patna. Patna Police swung into action. But the accused is running away(on the loose). Patna Police should be given help."
Mumbai Police on Monday, issued an official statement refuting the claims made by Sushant Singh Rajput's father. The statement also said that IPS OP Singh, the brother-in-law of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput had sent a WhatsApp message to DCP zone 9 regarding the issue back then.

However, DCP Zone 9 had called Singh and requested him to file a written complaint, as it was mandatory to initiate any inquiry or action. The official statement by the Mumbai Police further said that Rajput's brother-in-law O P Singh wanted the issue to be resolved informally, to which the then DCP zone 9 clearly told him that it was not possible.
