Intervene for justice to Sushant Singh Rajput: Chirag Paswan to Bihar CM Nitish Kumar

PATNA: The demand for a probe into the recent death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput in Mumbai is gaining momentum with Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) national president and MP Chirag Paswan on Thursday seeking the CM Nitish Kumar’s intervention to deliver justice to the family.
Chirag shot off a letter to the CM, requesting him to intervene in the matter as it involved a young and promising actor from the state.Chirag had also tried his luck in the film industry before he stepped into politics and got elected as MP from Jamui Lok Sabha seat for the first time in 2014.
The Jamui MP said, “Nitishji should talk to his counterpart in Maharashtra and ensure proper investigation into the entire episode. The demand of fair investigation has also been made by some close relatives and family members of Sushant, who was doing well in Hindi movies.”
Quoting media reports, Chirag said Sushant’s suicide was a fallout of “groupism” in the Hindi film industry, which prevented young and budding artists from outside to prove themselves. “The growing groupism in Bollywood should be stopped so that no other meritorious and talented artist from small cities and towns fall victim in future,” he said.
The LJP leader said he was in constant touch with the relatives of the departed actor. He further said those responsible for the actor’s suicide be brought to book. “It’s responsibility of the state government that no resident from the state is harassed at his or her workplace in the country and abroad,” he said.
Chirag also turned to twitter to raise his demand for fair inquiry into the suicide case. Earlier, former MP from Madhepura Pappu Yadav had demanded a CBI probe into the actor’s suicide. Yadav had also visited Sushant’s Rajeev Nagar residence in Patna and met his father K K Singh.
Pappu had said, “The country has lost its promising son. If Sushant doesn’t get justice, we will move to the Supreme Court.”
In addition, Sushant’s cousin and MLA from Chhatapur Niraj Kumar Singh Babloo had said Sushant was not a man who could end his life in such a manner. His brother-in-law and ADGP in Haryana Om Prakash Singh had echoed similar views and stressed the need of an in-depth investigation.
