The death of Sushant Singh Rajput has heralded a storm for the Bollywood industry, and many have grown to despise it. How an actor, whose true potential was yet to be reached in the world of films, was sidelined and made to feel a pariah, ultimately leading to him committing suicide on June 14 has definitely exposed the gaping fault lines of Bollywood. Ever since his death, the public at large has been adamant for a CBI investigation into the case, for if there is indeed foul play of some nature, it would not be an uphill task for the high and mighty of the industry to evade the Mumbai Police.
In light of the same, BJP MP and senior leader Subramanian Swamy has now initiated a preliminary investigation of sorts, in individual capacity.
He on Friday informed that his aide, Ishkaran Singh Bhandari had been roped in to look into the matter, to find whether the matter held merit for seeking a CBI probe. Swamy tweeted, “I have asked Ishkaran to look into facts of Sushant Singh Rajput death case & see whether it’s a fit Case for CBI investigation. Then accordingly to see justice is done.” In another tweet, he added, “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?”

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?

Meanwhile, Ishkaran Singh Bhandari has been seeking public support, and calling upon people to submit any relevant information they may have pertaining to Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide. In a live Twitter session, he clarified that only relevant fact-based information be submitted, and not conspiracy theories based on emotions alone.
#CBIForSonOfBihar pls send all relevant information

Subramanian Swamy has further stated that if in case legal representation is needed to fight a case for Sushant Singh Rajput and the circumstances surrounding his death, he shall do so pro bono. Ever since his death, tempers have been running high among India’s public, which is almost unanimously seeking an independent probe in the matter, one which cannot be swayed in favour of industry goliaths. Subramanian Swamy and Ishkaran Singh Bhandari have taken up the matter since there is no clarity on the suicide, and also because the entire nation is seeking answers.
Swamy also took on the three Khan’s of Bollywood, and asked why they are silent on the matter. Further, he demanded an independent enquiry into the assets which the three biggies of industry have come to possess in India and abroad, and whether they were gifted with such properties, and if so, by whom.
Are the three musketeers of Bollywood Salman Khan, Sharukh Khan and Aamir Khan silent on so called suicide of Sushant Rajput ?

The assets created by these 3 Khan Musketeers in India and abroad especially in Dubai need to be investigated . Who gifted them bunglows and properties there and how they bought it and the cartelisation needs to be investigated by SIT of ED , IT and CBI. Are they above the law?

The persistence of some in Bollywood is worthy of noting. Why are some star celebrities, who have been airdropped into the industry without any skill-set, getting jittery at the thought of an investigation into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput? Why are they so adamant on pushing the entire case under the rug? These are legitimate questions to which the hegemons of Bollywood have no answers.
