Rajya Sabha MP and senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, who is one of many people leading fight in unravelling mystery behind Sushant Singh Rajput's death, said that those people who want investigation to be gagged, "deserve to be labelled as Gagsters of Bollywood”.

Swamy's statement on Twitter comes in view of several vested interests who wish that investigation in death of revered actor needs be stopped. Also, a petition was filed in Bombay High Court seeking direction to news channels and ors to "postpone" "media trial" in case saying that it could hamper probe.

Earlier in week, Swamy had said re were two possible motives behind murder of Sushant Singh —  'Bollywood cartel' which was weary of Sushant's talent and second one is political motive. However, he seemed to be ambiguous about second motive adding that he needs more research on it.

He had also said that re was "systematic" destruction in evidence in case of Sushant Singh Rajput citing faulty postmortem report conducted by Cooper Hospital when case was under Mumbai Police. He asserted that actor's body was cremated next day hence, it would be difficult to reevaluate Cooper Hospital's autopsy report.
