Congress Demands CBI Inquiry Into Sushant Singh Rajput’s Death

Patna: Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide has jolted the whole nation. People from across the societal spectrum are demanding justice for him. The latest to join the bandwagon are political parties and organisations who are demanding an investigation into the death of the Bollywood actor.

On Tuesday, the Congress wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into Sushant’s death.

Former Bihar Youth Congress Chairman and member of the Film Censor Board Advisory Committee, Lalan Kumar has written to Shah and Thackeray demanding that the CBI investigate the actor’s death.

Kumar said in the letters that Sushant made his mark in Bollywood in a very short span but coming from a small town, he made a section of the film world unhappy. Quoting media reports, he said Sushant was abetted in committing suicide. Only a CBI investigation can clear up the entire matter, the letter said.

Lalan threatened to approach the court if the demand for a CBI inquiry is not met within 15 days. He warned that the films of actor Salman Khan and Karan Johar will also not be allowed to be screened in Bihar till Sushant gets justice.

Earlier, Congress leader and former governor Nikhil Kumar had also demanded a CBI inquiry into the matter. BJP leader and actor Manoj Tiwari has also demanded a high-level inquiry into the death.
