“Presently in the Sushant Rajput case, Ishkaran is looking to see if Sections 306 and/or 308 of India Penal Code read with Article 21 of the Constitution is applicable. That is, whether accepting the Police version of it being a suicide, was the Actor driven to it?,” Swamy tweeted on Friday.
Demand for CBI probe
Swamy being vocal about Sushant Singh Rajput’s death comes at a time when netizens have been consistently demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the actor’s death. Hashtags like #cbiforsushant and #cbiforsonofbihar have been going viral on Twitter for quite some time now.
Actor’s death
Rajput committed suicide at his apartment in suburban Bandra on June 14. His postmortem report confirmed that the cause of death is asphyxia due to hanging.
After the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, people started speculating the reason behind his suicide.
One section of the people believes that the actor died due to nepotism in the film industry. They claim that the actor was denied roles in films and that has pushed him into depression.
Whereas, another section of people alleged that nepotism can’t be the reason for the suicide as the actor had enough work and money. They believe that clinical depression was the reason.
