Gujarati women in UK campaign for Shushant Singh Rajput

Shushant Singh Rajput
SURAT: NRG women in London have started a campaign — both online as well on the streets — on Sunday demanding justice for late Bollywood actor Shushant Singh Rajput. Displaying huge posters of the late actor on LCD screens on vans, the group also collected £900 through online donation from Indians residing in the UK.
The group comprises Neha Thaker, Suranjita Bhagwati, Susmita Bahinipati and Purva Vaidya is being widely supported by Indians and others on social media. Thaker, a homemaker and womenpreneur Bhagwati hail from Ahmedabad, while Vaidya is from Mumbai and have all settled in the UK.
Thaker initially started a page on Facebook titled ‘UK fights for Shushant Singh Rajput’ and was joined by more than 550 people, mostly from the UK. The group later planned a campaign on road at multiple locations in London at places like Southall, Hillingdon, Uxbridge, Wembley, Madame Tussauds, Baker Street, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, London Eye, Big Ben and Westminster Square.
“I was pained to learn about the labyrinthine process of justice, which is almost non-existent for ordinary people. Also, as there are no influential people supporting SSR’s cause, we are demanding justice for him,” Thaker told TOI.
For Bhagwati, the case is a platform for modern India to show the world that justice is accessible to all regardless of their name, position and status. “We are trying to create a global awareness about the case. This will also tell investigators that the whole world is keeping an eye on them,” Bhagwati said.
