From ‘SSRian’ to ‘warrior’, those fighting for Sushant Singh Rajput’s ‘justice’ have earned various titles. Many of them have lived up to these tags as the movement created numerous breakthroughs like 'CBI for SSR' in the past four months. An example of this was a YouTuber donating all his earnings from his channel to a charity to honour the legacy of the late actor.
Sushant’s fan donates earnings to charity
A Sushant Singh Rajput fan named Varun Kapur announced that he had donated $731.90 (over Rs 53,000) to the Vivekanand Society of the City of New York. He revealed that he had donated all his profits from his channel about the Chhichhore star, and that he never intended to monetise the channel.

Expressing her delight over the gesture, Sushant’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti, who is also based in the USA, wrote that the organisation was one started by Swami Vivekananda to 'uplift humanity' and take it ‘God-wards’ She recalled how her ’Bhai’ used to adore Swami Vivekanada and his work. She hoped that the 'power of divine' continues to be with them as she used the hashtag ‘Immortal Sushant’.

Shweta had also recently shared a verse tweeted by Sushant. As the festival of Navratri was being celebrated, she shared his post of a chant on Goddess Durga. In that tweet, he had concluded with Swami Vivekanand’s words ‘Struggle God-wards.’

Meanwhile, similar gestures like Varun Kapur’s are being held across the globe. A 3-city Padyatra, that started in Patna and Varanasi recently concluded in a grand manner in Kolkata. ‘SSRians’ held banners, T-shirts with words seeking ‘justice’ and ‘truth’ as they shouted slogans for their beloved star.
SSR case update
As far as the investigation into the death of Sushant is concerned, the CBI recently confirmed that the probe was still on, as it hit out at the ‘speculative reports’ about it arriving at a conclusion. Two other agencies involved in the investigation, Enforcement Directorate and Narcotics Control Bureau made headway recently. The former raided the residence of Sushant’s Raabta director Dinesh Vijan, while NCB arrested a person named Jay Madhok and Agisilaos Demetriades, brother of Gabriella Demetriades, who is the partner of actor Arjun Rampal.
