Sushant's ex-housemate says the actor 'knew' who was behind 2018 #MeToo allegations

In latest development in Sushant Singh Rajput's death case, Kushal Zaveri, one of late actor's close friends and a filmmaker (as stated on his Instagram bio) on Thursday issued a clarification for "closure sake" over allegations of sexual harassment levelled against Sushant in 2018.

'She was t available for any comment'

In an Instagram post, Kushal said that he stayed with Sushant from July 2018 to February 2019, revealing that "most vulnerable" he had seen Sushant was during #MeToo movement in October 2018. " electronic media was targeting him without any solid proof. We tried out best to contact Sanjana Sanghi (his Dil Bechara star) but it seems she was in USA and was t available for any comment (strange coincident)," Kushal said.

filmmaker claimed that Sushant knew at back of his mind who was targeting him but did t have proof to call m out."I remember how Sushant couldn't sleep for 4 nights waiting for Sanjana to clear allegations. Finally, she cleared his name on 5th day and it all seemed like a hard-earned victory as if battle was over," he added.

Kushal Zaveri said his intention to come out was t only for closure but "to also find out if people Sushant thought were targeting him were actually behind this!"
