Sister Shares Emotional Video
Shweta uploaded a video in which she discussed her 28-day meditation retreat and the reasons why she chose to go online today. She captioned it, “Today is Bhai’s 5th Death Anniversary, a lot has happened since his death on 14th June 2020. Now CBI has submitted a report to the court and we are in the process of retrieving it. But what I want to say today is no matter what happens, don’t lose heart and don’t lose faith in god or goodness. Always remember what our Sushant stood for… purity, an unquenchable zeal for life and learning, a heart full of love which believed in treating everyone equally and doing charity.”
She further said that she can still feel the presence of Sushant. “Never use Bhai’s name to spread any negative feeling… he wouldn’t like that. He didn’t stand for that. Look how many people’s hearts and minds he touched and influenced…. Let his legacy continue… you are the burning candle that lights up other candles to continue his legacy. Any great person’s legacy always grows after he has passed on….. Do you know why is that? Because the magnetism of their personality sows seeds and influences minds for generations to come.”
What Happened to Sushant Singh Rajput?
On 14 June 2020, Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his apartment in Mumbai. He was only 34 years of age. The autopsy report gave the cause of his death as “asphyxia secondary to hanging.”
Over a month after that, his family lodged an FIR against Rhea Chakraborty and five other persons on the charge of abetment to suicide. In August 2020, the case was handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Related issues such as money laundering and drug links were also probed by other agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).
In March 2025, the CBI filed a closure report in the case. The report indicated that no evidence could suggest foul play.
