Sushant Singh Rajput's MLA cousin hospitalized in Patna

Singh is currently undergoing treatment at the Jeevak Heart Hospital in Patna.

A message from his office posted to social media on Thursday (October 15) confirmed the news.

"Yesterday, while interacting with the locals in Madhopur, MLA Niraj Kumar Singh Bablu suffered from chest pain and was subsequently referred to Patna for treatment," the tweet read.

Singh is a sitting MLA from Chhatapur in the state's Supaul district.

He has been named a BJP candidate from the same constituency in the upcoming Bihar elections as well.

The polls are scheduled to take place between October 28 and November 7 in three phases. Polls in Chhatapur will be held during the third phase.

Election results will be declared on November 10.

Notably, Singh has been actively speaking about Sushant's death case.

He had earlier criticized the Mumbai Police's handling of the case, and sought a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

He had also sent a legal notice to Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut over his comments against the late actor's family.

Sushant, a 34-year-old film star, was found dead at his apartment in Mumbai on June 14. The actor died by alleged suicide and had been suffering from depression, cops said.

A panel of doctors from Delhi's AIIMS has ruled out theories of poisoning and murder in the case, floated by the family and others.

Investigations by three central agencies are currently underway.
