Sushant Singh Rajput died on 14 June at his home in Bandra, Mumbai. Initially, the Mumbai police called it a suicide. But as photographs of the dead body of the actor were leaked online, fans started speculating that there was something fishy. Sushant was certainly not a biggie in Bollywood like Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan. However, people loved him a lot. His rise from a small town to a big screen made him an inspiration for youngsters from middle-class families aspiring for making a big name in Bollywood.

Fans Fight For Sushant Singh Rajput, Put Rhea Chakraborty On Social Media Trial

No one could believe that a positive and confident person like Sushant could commit suicide. Apart from the photographs, what triggered suspicion of the users was death news of the actor on Wikipedia hours before the actual declaration of his death. There continues to be a lot of confusion regarding the time of his death because even his autopsy does not mention it.

The forensic report of Sushant's mobile phone indicated that the actor googled his name at around 10.15 am on 14 June. On the other hand, Wikipedia declared him dead before 9 am.

Slowly one-by-one friends and colleagues of Sushant also started claiming that he cannot commit suicide. Bollywood choreographer Ganesh Hiwarkar slammed reports of Sushant's suicide. Bollywood superstar Kangana Ranaut was the first to openly call it murder. She even attacked Bollywood insiders like Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra, and Bhatt clan for nepotism.

The case became high profile when BJP politician Subramanian Swamy decided to look into it. He appointed Ishkaran Bhandari as the lawyer who from then on has been continuously fighting along with Sushant's fans to get justice. But it was the support of SSR fans that changed everything in this case. They slammed Rhea Chakraborty's claims that the actor suffered from depression and bipolar disorder.

The fans sort of put Rhea on social media trial, coming up one-by-one with stories of her using Sushant for his money. When Rhea urged the Home Minister of India, Amit Shah to set up a CBI inquiry fans did not believe her.

When after more than a month nothing constructive came out Sushant Singh Rajput's father filed an FIR in Patna against Rhea Chakraborty and her family.

During the investigation, the ED retrieved some deleted chats. These chats suggest Rhea and her team's alleged involvement in drugs. Now apart from CBI, Narcotics Department is also looking into the matter. Fans continue to keep a close eye on the development. Earlier when Divya Bharti, Jiah Khan, and Sridevi died suspiciously the officials allegedly closed the case in a hush-hush. But in the case of Sushant Singh Rajput fans ensured that their favorite star gets justice.
