Celebrities turn ‘Warriors for SSR’
Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament Subramanian Swamy has been one of the major names at the forefront in pointing out the numerous loopholes in the 'official' claims made about the death of Sushant. He had previously even written to the Prime Minister, seeking a CBI probe. Dr Swamy had also lit a candle for Sushant, in the movement before, led by Ishkaran Singh Bhandari, the lawyer he had appointed to look into the scope of a CBI probe.
As the lawyer urged support for another movement, the leader gave his thumbs up by showing a placard with the hashtag #Warriors4SSR.
Two names, who have also been vociferous in seeking ‘justice’ for Sushant, have been Kangana Ranaut and Shekhar Suman, who also have used the hashtag on their tweets.
Sushant’s first serial director Kushal Zaveri, last film Dil Bechara director Mukesh Chhrabra, actors Hina Khan, Zareen Khan, Kamya Punjabi, and Jiah Khan’s mother Rabya Khan, who too have been raising similarities of SSR’s case with that of, also used the hashtag.
Sushant’s sister Shweta, and his former co-star and ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande had also previously termed themselves ‘Warriors 4 SSR.’
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his residence in Mumbai’s Bandra on June 14. After over 40 days of probe by Mumbai Police, the Patna registered an FIR against Rhea Chakraborty and others, as Sushant’s father accused them of abetment to suicide, embezzlement and more.
The CBI has now taken over the case and registered an FIR against Rhea and others, after the Bihar government, citing non-cooperation from Mumbai Police, wrote to the Centre on it. The Enforcement Directorate also questioned Rhea, her brother, and others in connection with the money-laundering case stemming from the charges in the FIR.
