On Sushant Singh Rajput’s 4th death anniversary on Friday, the late actor’s family members, friends and fans poured their hearts out on social media. Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai apartment on June 14 in 2020. Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti remembered him in a series of Instagram posts. Posting a throwback video with her late brother, Shweta wrote in her caption, “Bhai, it has been 4 years since you left us, and we still don’t know what transpired on June 14, 2020. Your death remains a mystery. I feel helpless and have pleaded with the authorities countless times for the truth.”
Shweta Singh Kirti, in her extensive Instagram note, added, “I’m losing my patience and feel like giving up. But today, for one last time, I want to ask everyone who can help with the case to put your hand on your heart and ask yourself: don’t we deserve to know what happened to our brother Sushant? Why has it become a political agenda? Why can’t it be as straightforward as stating what was found that day and what is believed to have happened?” She signed off the post with these words, “Please, I am requesting and pleading-help us move forward as a family. Give us the closure we deserve.”
