Shekhar Suman 'couldn't meet' Bihar CM, seeks support from all parties for Sushant Singh
Shekhar Suman revealed that he couldn't meet Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, while seeking support from all political parties for 'justice' for Sushant Singh Rajput.
Fans have been demanding ‘justice’ for Sushant Singh Rajput on social media in the aftermath of his untimely demise last month. Even celebrities have been voicing their opinions, urging all to not believe in the official line of the late actor taking his own life. Apart from numerous politicians who have demanded a CBI investigation into the death, some celebrities from the film industry too have joined in the debate.
One of them has been Shekhar Suman, who also hails from Patna like Sushant and had planned to start a forum in the matter. The actor then visited Sushant’s family in Patna and asserted his stance on fighting till the ‘finish’ for ‘justice.’
The Bhoomi star on Wednesday shared that he had returned from Patna, but could not meet Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to press his demands. Shekhar claimed that the leader’s office cited the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason to be unable to meet. He, however, claimed that RJD leader Tejaswi Yadav had promised him all support.

The actor also tweeted that he needed to garner support from all political pirates like BJP, Congress, Shiv Sena NCP, JDU, RJD in this battle and from ‘every corner’ of India. The Movers & Shakers artist also claimed that his family was ‘dead against’ him risking his life amid the COVID-19 pandemic and going to Patna for this initiative. However, he stated that he could not ‘betray the cause’, betray his heart and betray all the fan
Shekhar visited Sushant’s home on Monday, along with producer Sandip Ssingh, who is Sushant’s close friend and carried out all formalities related to his death. Sharing a photo with Sushant’s father, Shekhar Suman wrote that he shared his grief with the bereaved without exchanging a word. He also addressed the media and pictures and videos of his visit surfaced online.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Police is recording the statements of those closely associated to Sushant. The latest was his Dil Bechara co-star Sanjana Sanghi, after Rhea Chakraborty, Mukesh Chhabra and over 25 in all. Citing the post-mortem report, the police have ruled out foul play and reported that he died of ‘asphyxia due to hanging.’
