Sushant Death Case: Popular Media Theories and Counter Arguments

I will briefly touch a few points and questions which are being repeated in the TV media as open points while their clear counter-arguments exist but no one is speaking about those. 

Theory: Sushant Singh was not depressed

Counter Argument: Sushant was not a small child that his sister needed to stay at his home for 4 days (8-12 June) just to console him. It is obvious that he was depressed, perhaps suicidal, and his sister is not telling whole truth. 

Theory: Rhea stole a lot of Sushant's money

Counter Argument: Sushant was not a teenage boy that his girlfriend stole all his money and he just watched. May be he willingly splurged all that money on her to impress her, like boys do to impress their girlfriends. No media is speaking this plain fact which is often seen in boyfriend-girlfriend relationships. There are boys who started doing crime to get easy money to spend on their girlfriends. And here we have Sushant whose net worth was of Rs 60 Crores. Why won't he spend money on his girlfriend to impress her? 

Theory: Whatever Sushant's father says is true just because he is Sushant's father

Counter Argument: CBI should probe why Sushant's father took 45 days to file FIR and if any politicians called Sushant's father before the FIR. May be all this is just to help Nitish Kumar and BJP's image just before Bihar Election; as I wrote in my previous blog

Theory: Rhea had kept Sushant captive and did not allow him to talk to his family

Counter Argument: This theory is so silly but it is still being played in the media. Sushant was not a small kid that someone will keep him captive. Plus, his house had many flat-mates and he could easily get help from someone or the other if he was in trouble. 

Theory: Sushant had very good relationship with his family

Counter Argument: Based on the news and facts learnt through media reports, Sushant clearly loved his sisters and his sisters loved and cared for him. But that is not entire "family". His sisters were married and living in their respective homes under perhaps controlling husbands. Yesterday, a Whatsapp message was being shown on TV News where one of Sushant's Jeeja (brother-in-law) had written a stern message to Sushant saying, "Stop involving my wife in your family matters". So, SSR's sister was not SSR's family? Now let us bring a counter theory: Sushant's Jeejas isolated Sushant from his sisters and it caused Sushant not to get the family support he needed at the time he was depressed. The above mentioned Whatsapp message clearly shows that at least one of his Jeejas was harsh at him. Plus, this theory also explains why SSR did not make a trip to his home or sister's place when he was depressed. Because he was not welcomed there! 

Theory: Rhea is responsible for Sushant's death

Counter Argument: By now we know that Rhea and Sushant had some kind of fight after which Rhea left his home on 8th of June and blocked his number. For next 5-6 days when Sushant was alive, they did not have any conversation. When Sushant called Rhea on last day, the call did not go through as number was blocked. Now, breakup is a person's "right" and we can't blame Rhea for breaking up with Sushant. It was Sushant's decision to give up his life and perhaps he knew it and hence did not write any suicide note because he thought she would understand the reason very well. Sushant was only 34 after all. 

Perhaps Sushant's family was jealous of Rhea and hence they have put all blames on her. That was my first reaction hearing about the FIR too (blog). CBI should also probe SSR's sisters and all Jeejas to see if they had abandoned Sushant or caused any mental trouble to him and if such acts were as painful to him as was his breakup with Rhea which caused him distress. 

An impartial probe from all angles is expected from the CBI and we hope the truth comes out soon.
