Bollywood
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
untimely
death
on
June
14,
2020,
is
still
under
investigation
by
the
Central
Bureau
of
Investigation
(CBI).
While
Mumbai
Police
and
AIIMS
ruled
out
murder,
CBI
is
yet
to
submit
a
report
on
the
case
to
the
Supreme
Court.
SSR
fans
have
been
campaigning
on
social
media
demanding
justice
for
the
late
actor
and
recently,
they
called
out
Wikipedia
for
listing
'suicide'
as
the
cause
of
his
death.
On
May
20,
'Wikipedia
Sushant
Was
Killed'
began
trending
on
Twitter
with
fans
demanding
the
website
to
change
the
cause
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death.
Notably,
Wikipedia
attributes
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
to
"hanging
by
suicide,"
citing
"reliable"
sources.
Many
Twitter
users
also
pointed
out
that
the
description
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
on
his
Wikipedia
page
is
inconclusive
as
the
CBI
investigation
is
still
going
on.
Following
the
outcry
among
fans,
Wikipedia
founder
Jimmy
Wales
took
to
his
official
Twitter
account
and
wrote,
"Dear
fans
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput,
Wikipedia
is
based
on
reliable
sources,
not
Twitter
campaigns."
Wales
also
replied
to
a
Twitter
user
demanding
to
know
the
sources
that
brought
the
organisation
to
this
conclusion.
Wales
wrote,
"As
always,
the
sources
are
linked
in
the
article.
Again,
let
me
repeat:
a
twitter
campaign
is
not
the
right
way
forward.
Use
the
links
that
I
provided
to
learn
more
and
participate
in
a
helpful
way."
Meanwhile,
Sushant's
Wikipedia
page
says
that
the
investigation
is
still
going
on.
The
links
shared
by
Wales
said
that
the
organisation
is
not
allowed
to
cite
primary
sources
of
the
investigation
or
government
documents.
Citing
mainstream
news
outlets
as
its
secondary
sources,
the
Wiki
page
added
that
Mumbai's
and
AIIMS'
medical
examiners
determined
it
was
suicide.
The
page
also
cited
the
mechanism
of
death
as
a
reason
for
listing
it
as
suicide.
It
read,
"asphyxia
via
hanging
-
is
publicly
known
and
not
seriously
disputed
by
any
sensible
party."
For
the
unversed,
CBI
began
an
investigation
in
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
in
August
2020,
after
the
Supreme
Court's
ruling
that
Mumbai
Police
should
hand
over
the
case
to
the
CBI.
