Sushant Singh Rajput Case Thread #9 - ALL UPDATES/DISCUSSIONS HERE

Hello dear Bollywood Forum members,

As we all know, Sushant Singh Rajput's demise has caused unprecedented outrage and ruckus amongst the public and the media alike. Since there is a plethora of news pouring in everyday, we've decided to create one thread where news articles, videos, discussions, and developments pertaining to Sushant's case can be shared, so as to avoid flooding the forum.

Please do share all updates in this thread. Related topics opened outside of this thread will be merged to it eventually.

Note: Please do not post pictures of Sushant's body - it's highly sensitive content and can be triggering for many.

Please continue to abide by the forum rules.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

With respect to the previous two DT notes, here is a reminder that continuous personal attacks, indirect or direct mocking and sarcastic comments, abuse and moral policing will result in this thread being closed permanently and to the concerned members being penalised through increased WL.

Regards,

Bollywood Forum DT
