The plot thickens.

It has been less than a week since the tragic news broke about Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. The talented actor passed away on June 14 as he committed suicide due to depression. Sushant’s death has wreaked havoc in the Indian entertainment industry with insiders and fans calling out on Bollywood’s widespread toxic culture.

According to recent reports, the late actor’s advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha has sued eight prominent figures of the Bollywood fraternity for allegedly bullying Sushant Singh Rajput. Fellow actor Salman Khan and directors/producers Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Ekta Kapoor and Karan Johar are among the eight public figures facing legal action.

Sushant’s advocate is suing these public figures under Sections 306 (abetment of suicide), 109 (punishment of abetment if the act abetted is committed in consequence and where no express provision is made for its punishment), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation). In the complaint registered, the advocate claimed:

“In the complaint, I have alleged that Sushant Singh Rajput was removed from around seven films and some of his films were not released. Such a situation was created which forced him to take the extreme step.”

While the likes of Karan Johar and Salman Khan have yet to respond, producer Ekta Kapoor took to social media to express her outrage. Responding to the case, she said:
