The petition in question was filed by local advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha only three days after Sushant Singh Rajput took his own life. The actor was found hanging from the ceiling of his bedroom in his apartment on June 14, 2020. In his petition, Sudhir Kumar Ojha also claimed that Bollywood's Kangana Ranaut was a 'witness' in the case against the Bollywood bigwigs.

After Sushant Singh Rajput's death, Kangana Ranaut reignited the topic of nepotism in the Bollywood film industry. The Queen actor claimed that Sushant Singh Rajput was driven to suicide after being bullied by Bollywood bigwigs and the "movie mafia". Since then, the internet has turned against Bollywood star kids and celebs. Many big-name actors are facing accusations of nepotism in the Industry. 

This is not the first time that advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha has filed a petition at the Bihar Court. Sudhir Kumar Ojha has previously come up with petitions against film personalities, politicians, and even foreign heads of states.
