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.
Here's the tweet

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
