Shekhar Suman slams actors for ‘tarnishing Sushant Singh Rajput’s name’ in their testimonials: ‘Dead man cannot defend himself’

Actor Shekhar Suman has taken concern at Sushant Singh Rajput’s status being harmed by the testimonies offered about his alleged drug use. In a tweet, Shekhar referred to as the allegations ‘unfair’, as Sushant couldn’t defend himself.

He wrote, “All the confessions and testimonials of the women being probed for the drug case are tarnishing Sushant’s name calling him a drug addict. Also attacking his character. This is so unfair and inhuman,for a dead man cannot defend himself.”

 

Sushant died on June 14, on the age of 34. His girlfriend, actor Rhea Chakraborty, was later accused by his father of abetment to suicide. She was arrested on drugs-related expenses, after the Narcotics Control Bureau turned concerned within the case, and located proof tying her to medicine.

In a TV interview previous to her arrest, Rhea had mentioned that Sushant used to smoke marijuana. In an interview to India Today she mentioned, “Yes, Sushant used to smoke marijuana, he used to take it even before he met me. He started this during Kedarnath. I used to control him in this department only. He was a man of his own choices and nobody could stop him.”

According to NDTV, Rhea mentioned in her bail plea, “Sushant Singh Rajput was the only consumer of drugs and that he was directing his staff members to procure his drugs.” She added, “If the late actor were alive today, he would have been charged for the consumption of small quantities, which is a bailable offence having punishment of a term of imprisonment upto one year.”

The investigation into the medicine angle has put the highlight on a number of Bollywood celebrities, a few of whom have been summoned for questioning by the NCB. Shekhar echoed Sushant’s household lawyer’s sentiments that the medicine angle has diverted consideration from investigation into the actor’s loss of life. He wrote in one other tweet, “We cannot afford to lose hope even though it may seem things r not moving in our favour right now.But picture abhi baaki hai..There may be a few surprises in store for us. So on Sushant’s front all is not lost.His family must bcom more vocal.”
