📌 WHAT WE FOUND

The viral visual is not genuine CCTV footage.

Newschecker investigated the image and found that it was digitally fabricated.

🔍 EVIDENCE

Newschecker reported that searches did not find credible reports of CCTV footage retrieved from inside Sushant Singh Rajput’s home.

Reports from 2020 stated that Mumbai Police had collected CCTV recordings from the building where he lived, but police confirmed that there were no CCTV cameras installed inside his home.

The Deepfakes Analysis Unit identified visual inconsistencies in the image, including unnatural facial features and a composition that appeared deliberately staged.

There is no credible evidence that the viral image is an authentic CCTV screenshot from inside Sushant Singh Rajput’s home.

📝 EXPLANATION

The image has been circulated with a misleading claim that it is leaked CCTV footage from shortly before Sushant Singh Rajput's death.

However, available evidence indicates that the visual is digitally fabricated and should not be treated as genuine CCTV footage.
