Slamming filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt whose name had also emerged in the late actor’s death, Ranaut alleged that despite Bhatt’s own children suffering from depression, he told Rajput that he would die like late actress Parveen Babi who had allegedly died of depression. “These people collectively killed him and Sushant himself wrote that in his social media interaction before his death.

Rajput’s sister announced scholarship in his name
On his 35th birth anniversary, Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti today announced that a fund has been set up at University of California, Berkeley in Rajput’s name. A scholarship worth USD 35,000 will be provided by the Sushant Singh Rajput Memorial Fund in Physics for those interested in studying Astrophysics at the university.
The late actor was found dead under mysterious circumstances at his apartment on June 14 last year. Initially, his death was purported to have resulted from suicide but later on, after much public outrage, the investigation of his death was handed over to the CBI. The CBI investigation in his death had also exposed a drug nexus which is being probed by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). Several big Bollywood celebrities have been interrogated by the NCB in the case so far.
