Exactly three years back on June 14, 2020; Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Bandra residence in Mumbai. On his death anniversary, fans have generously posted on social media to show their solidarity and dedication for the Bollywood actor.

Three years on, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has neither filed a charge-sheet nor officially closed the case. The investigation into the murder case, which was initially registered by the Bihar Police in 2020, continues to be shrouded in secrecy as the central agency refrains from divulging any details regarding its progress.

“3 Years Of Injustice To Sushant. Black Day 14 June. Miss you real hero Sushant Singh Rajput," wrote a fan who apparently believes that the actor was murdered.

“Sushant Singh Rajput was gifted & impossible to forget. We are keep him alive till the end of this case & beyond. We’re not letting the incident die off," wrote another fan exhibiting similar emotions.

“...today marks the black day in Indian judicial system too because it denied an innocent from his basic fundamental right of justice & above all it is happening in a democratic country where we say law is equal for all (sic)," came from another.

After Sushant had been found hanging at his home, the local Bandra police initially recorded an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and conducted interviews with numerous individuals, including prominent film stars and producers. Subsequently, the post-mortem report corroborated the notion of suicide.

However, the case has garnered substantial attention and public interest, with various theories surrounding the actor's alleged murder gaining traction on social media platforms in the aftermath of his demise. 

These speculations were further fueled by allegations suggesting a connection between Sushant Singh Rajput's death and the tragic demise of his former assistant, Disha Salian, on June 8, 2020. Nevertheless, the Mumbai police, in their investigation, found no evidence to support claims of foul play.
