Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide at the age of 34 in Mumbai. He was said to be under stress and depression. His suicide case is currently being investigated by the Mumbai Police. So far, statements of 35 people have been recorded by the cops.

A section of people are, however, in favour of CBI probe into the actor's suicide case, supecting foul play. The final post-mortem report though confirmed that Sushant died of asphyxia due to hanging and the Mumbai Police also ruled any foul play in his death.

Meanwhile, actor Shekhar Suman and actress-politican Roopa Ganguly have also demanded a CBI probe into Sushant's suicide case.

Sushant hailed from Patna. He moved to Delhi in 2000. He made a name for himself first through the TV industry and later debuted in Bollywood. 

Sushant was the star of films such as 'Kai Po Che!', 'Shuddh Desi Romance', 'Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!', 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story', 'Raabta', 'Kedarnath', 'Sonchiriya' and 'Chhichhore'. 

His last film will be 'Dil Bechara' which will stream from July 24 on Disney+ Hotstar.
