The Bombay High Court has scheduled a hearing on February 19 for a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) concerning the investigations into the deaths of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput and his former manager, Disha Salian. The PIL, which seeks further investigation, specifically demands the arrest and questioning of Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aditya Thackeray regarding the mysterious circumstances surrounding their deaths.
In a recent interaction with ANI, Sushant’s father, KK Singh, conveyed his anticipation and hope for justice under Maharashtra’s new government regime. He stated, “I hope that whatever comes out of the court will be right. And hopefully, it will come out soon. We hoped for justice with the CBI, but it didn’t do its job on time. Now that it has come to the court, there is a hope that justice will be obtained.”
Reflecting on the emotional toll of his son’s death, KK Singh emphasized the improbability of his son’s death being a suicide, a sentiment that has echoed across the actor’s fan base and family since the tragedy occurred. “It is natural to have an emotional moment of five years. There was only one boy. This happened to him. One can imagine what will happen to the father,” he expressed.
Sushant Singh Rajput was found deceased in his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020, at the age of 34, under conditions that spurred widespread controversy and debate. The initial postmortem report from Mumbai’s Cooper Hospital cited asphyxia as the cause of death. Subsequently, the investigation was transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Before his untimely demise, Sushant had made significant strides in his career, transitioning from theatre and television to become a beloved Bollywood star. His most notable films include “Kai Po Che,” “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story,” and “Chhichhore,” with his final film, “Dil Bechara,” released posthumously on an OTT platform, drawing immense viewership and tributes from fans mourning the young actor’s loss.
