Sushant Singh Rajput Suicide Case: Bihar Court Dismisses Plea Against Salman Khan, Karan Johar and Other Bollywood Biggies

Muzaffarpur (Bihar), Jul 8 (PTI): A Bihar court on Wednesday dismissed a petition seeking registration of cases against Bollywood bigwigs like Salman Khan, Ekta Kapoor, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Karan Johar for allegedly abetting actor Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide, citing jurisdictional limitations. Chief Judicial Magistrate of Muzaffarpur Mukesh Kumar dismissed the petition filed by local advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha, pointing out that the matter lay outside the court's jurisdiction. Sushant Singh Rajput Death: Case Filed Against Karan Johar, Salman Khan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Ekta Kapoor In Muzaffarpur Court. 

In the petition filed barely three days after the 34 years old actor was found hanging from the ceiling of his Mumbai residence on June 14, Ojha had also named among "witnesses" Bollywood stormy petrel Kangana Ranaut who came out with a couple of angry messages blaming nepotism and favouritism in the film industry for the tragedy.

A serial litigant, who has in the recent past come up with petitions against top film and political personalities and even foreign heads of states, few of which went beyond the admission stage, Ojha remained unfazed by the CJMs order.

"I will challenge the CJMs decision before the district court. Bihar is in pain over the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. We must act to bring those, who drove a jovial young man like him to take such an extreme step, to justice", he told reporters. Sushant Singh Rajput's Father Is Not on Twitter, Certainly Not Tweeting About a CBI Probe. 

Quite a few film personalities, especially those from Bihar, have expressed apprehensions about foul play in the Patna-born actor's death and sought a CBI inquiry. These include Shekhar Suman and singer-turned- politician and BJP MP, Manoj Tiwari.
