While the sudden death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh has sparked a debate on the issue of nepotism in Bollywood, the role of the Indian media is also being questioned in this regard.
Sushant Singh’s death has been hotly debated in India since last night and various hashtags are trending on Twitter in this regard.
On Twitter in India, while people are questioning the irresponsible role of the media on this matter, on the other hand, users who blame Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty for Sushant’s death have criticized the channels interviewing Rhea.
It should be noted that after the death of Sushant Singh, a hate campaign is going on against his girlfriend and actress Riya Chakraborty, which includes social media trolls as well as some famous journalists from India.
A conservative Indian channel has described her as a “clever” woman who, with the help of “black magic”, “pushed Sushant towards suicide”.
A user named Vivek wrote that TV channels are playing with the emotions associated with the Sushant Singh case by interviewing Rhea Chakraborty. ‘They must stop this nonsense’, he added.
Former MP Dr. Uditt Raj wrote that he had stopped watching TV since the coverage of Sushant Singh’s death put important issues behind him.
He added that Rhea is being made a scapegoat to suppress issues like Corona, China incursion, Unemployment and exploit Bihar sentiment.
On the other hand, Sushant Singh’s fans, who blame Rhea Chakraborty for his death, got angry with the channels interviewing Riya. One user wrote: “Stop interviewing criminals on national TV.”
He further added that Rhea deserves to be questioned, not interviewed.
Actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his home in Mumbai on June 14. Mumbai police are investigating the case as a suicide. Mumbai Police has questioned a number of prominent figures in the Indian film industry, including Rhea Chakraborty.
Last month Rhea shared a screenshot of a message on her Instagram in which a man claiming to be a fan of Sushant is threatening Rhea with rape and murder. In the message, the man also told Rhea to “commit suicide or I will send my servant to kill you.”
At the bottom of the post, Rhea wrote, “I was called a greedy woman but I kept quiet, I was called a murderer, I kept quiet, I was called a bad woman, I kept quiet.”
She also appealed to the cybercrime police for help. In an FIR filed by Sushant Singh’s father on July 25, Rhea was accused of inciting Sushant to commit suicide.
He accused Rhea of stealing Sushant’s money, giving him drugs, threatening to tell people about his mental health and keeping him away from his family, and denies that his son was suffering from some kind of mental problem.
