    Four years since the tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput in June 2020, the case continues to linger without closure, prompting renewed calls for justice. Sushant's sister, Shweta Singh Kirti, has persistently campaigned for answers surrounding his demise. On the actor's recent fourth death anniversary, she reiterated the family's plea for closure.

    According to ETimes, recently, Karni Sena, a prominent socio-political group in India, has announced plans for a nationwide movement. This action is contingent on the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) failing to produce a conclusive report on Rajput's death. Shiv Singh Shekhawat, the national president of Karni Sena, emphasized their stance, stating, "We will raise Sushant Singh Rajput's voice to know who killed him." Expressing frustration over the prolonged investigation, Shekhawat added, "It's been four years, and despite assurances of ongoing inquiry, no report has been filed. We are planning a nationwide stir. We will light lamps and gherao the mantralaya if the report is not filed and we don't get to know who killed Sushant singh rajput."

    In response to queries, Varun Singh, legal representative for Rajput, expressed uncertainty about the case's progress. "We really have no update," Singh remarked. "The only information we have is that the CBI has yet to file a chargesheet."

    Sushant Singh Rajput Case Background

    Initially investigated by the Bandra police, the case was later transferred to the CBI in August 2020. Sushant Singh Rajput, who was found dead in his Bandra residence, had plans to commence filming a project with Rhea Chakraborty in May 2020, which were halted due to pandemic-related restrictions. His final film, 'Dil Bechara,' released posthumously and garnered widespread acclaim.

    The unresolved nature of Sushant Singh Rajput's death continues to fuel public outcry, with Karni Sena now threatening to escalate their protests if the CBI fails to provide conclusive findings. As the case remains mired in controversy, the demand for justice only intensifies with time.
