Shocking news of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has left the entire fraternity and the country as a whole talking about mental health and fallout of depression. While it’s still not clear how the 34-year-old succumbed to pressures to take this drastic step as he was found hanging at his Mumbai residence -- his family is crying foul at the suicide angle.Sara Ali Khan mourns the loss of her first co-star Sushant Singh Rajput
The police reached early yesterday after a domestic help informed them of Sushant hanging himself. According to Mumbai police sources, the actor was reportedly suffering from depression as the cops have found medical papers and anti-depressant pills from his house. "Police will be contacting Rajput's doctor and record his statement to know what type of medicines he was taking and what problem he was facing," they said.
As per the initial investigation yesterday, no suicide note was found from the actor's house. The police also do not suspect any foul play so far.
However, the actor’s family in Patna, Bihar are demanding a CBI probe into the death of their son. Sushant Singh Rajput's maternal uncle is alleging that the actor has been murdered and has appealed for a CBI probe into the incident from the Union Home Minister Amit Shah and PM Narendra Modi.
"This is a case of murder. The youth of Bihar and the Rajput Mahasabha demands a CBI enquiry into the incident. We demand a CBI enquiry from Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi into the murder," said Sushant Singh Rajput's maternal uncle RC Singh.
The actor's last rites will be held today.
Sushant made a fabulous entry into Bollywood and had made a name for himself in TV prior to that. He still has a film to release, titled ‘Dil Bechara’ with Sanjana Sanghi.
