16th June is 2 days after Sushant died.
When a tragedy strikes, everybody goes uncomfortably numb. It& #39;s impossible to think straight as the mind refuses to accept the reality because of shock.
This is why people are given time to recoup & recover before their statements are taken https://twitter.com/ANI/status/1290194899619344386">https://twitter.com/ANI/statu...
I am sorry, it just might be the second day after his death. Perhaps when they gave the statement, even 48 hours hadn& #39;t passed. I am not sure, if they were able to process the reality & were still grappling with what they were witnessing.
Tragedy is not easy to bear for the mind.
Anybody who has come face-to-face with tragedy or an accidental death in the family will know what I am speaking about.
The first thing that strikes you is disbelief.
Second, the moments start passing in a blur as you grow disillusioned with the reality.
You behave like a robot.
Later, I came to know that it& #39;s my mind& #39;s reaction to sudden shock. Body and mind both start reacting differently to the shock. I was told that it is because of the pain that my mind was experiencing. Yes, mind experiences acute pain too & the feeling is different than body pain.
If any of you have faced a tragedy or been a victim of physical or sexual assault, then you will understand what I am talking about.
It is sometimes impossible to give a coherent oral statement immediately following an incident as victims might not be a proper frame of mind.
It isn& #39;t rare for victims to change their statements later on. I think the law allows everybody to change statements and add additional or supplementary statements. A lawyer can answer that but I have seen that happening.
As new facts emerge, new statements are made as well.
I think it isn& #39;t proper to blame Sushant& #39;s family for changing statements. They weren& #39;t aware about a lot of things. They have also put it on record that they didn& #39;t know that he was taking medicines for mental illnesses as their consent wasn& #39;t taken before starting the treatment
They have also put it on record that they didn& #39;t know about the financial angle like the companies, money being siphoned off from his bank accounts or the lakhs being transferred to a bank account not related to him.
All these revelations shocked them and hence they lodged an FIR
We need to view this case with a lot of empathy. Sushant& #39;s father is 74 years old who suddenly lost his grown-up son. I cannot even begin to imagine the mental trauma that he had experienced. Yet how courageous and strong he must have been to come forward with a police complaint!
