In every tragedy, there are some opportunistic vultures who seek to gain from the plight. Such vultures are seen aplomb in the mainstream media however, it seems that even Bollywood has such vultures. The tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput has rocked the industry with some well-wishers meeting the actor’s family in Patna. Among the well-wishers are vultures like Shekhar Suman who are allegedly using Sushant’s death for gaining political mileage as the late actor’s family has accused Suman for using Sushant’s death for achieving his political ambitions.
Recently, Shekhar Suman who is currently away from the media glare, visited Sushant’s ancestral home in Patna which was subsequently covered by various media outlets. It seemed that the visit was a courtesy call, however, there were larger things at play here.
After meeting Sushant’s father, Suman held a press conference with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav demanding a CBI inquiry into Sushant’s death. However, soon after the press conference, Suman is learned to have joined RJD.
Sushant’s family reacted to the press conference as they said, “Everything is under investigation in Mumbai and giving media byte in Patna under the political banner is just for political mileage. Family is capable enough to demand all this and keep doing and waiting for police investigation report hence any kind of politics and political intervention not needed. There are already political people in the family who will take this up.” The family was also kept in the dark about Suman’s plans to hold a press meet.
Shekhar Suman has also indulged in conspiracy theories as he refuses to believe that Sushant committed suicide despite an autopsy report confirming the same.
So it has been declared that Sushant Singh's was plain and simple suicide.Dont fall for that.I suspected this wd happen.The narrative was set from before.Thar's why the forum has become all the more imp.plz raise your voices for a reinvestigation.

Suman has also stepped up his activism on Twitter and is clearly trying to gain sympathy under the garb of revealing the true story behind Sushant’s death.

It is clear that Suman is clearly trying to benefit and stay relevant by floating conspiracy theories and demanding “justice” over Sushant’s death.
In a tragic turn of events, Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide on June 14 which has stirred a hornet’s nest with the entire nation mourning the death of one of their own. There is a huge backlash against the proponents and products of nepotism with Karan Johar in the eye of the storm.
