Twitter users on Monday afternoon flooded the micro-blogging site with tweets demanding what they called “Justice for Sushant” calling for an FIR to be filed under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code for murder. The actor was found hanging at his Bandra residence on June 14.
The hashtag #FirForSushantUnder302 was among the top three trending hashtags on twitter India at 5:30 pm with nearly 70K tweets.
The actor’s death has since then caused outrage against the working of the Bollywood and Indian film industry and a large number of social media users have raised their voices against nepotism while alleging that it was the reason behind Sushant’s death. The outrage has seemingly clouded the careers of several star kids as several hashtags have trended on twitter India ever since Sushant’s death calling out to boycott their movies and to highlight the work of self-made actors.
On Monday, users tagged the official twitter handle of Maharashtra Governor seeking his intervention into the matter of filing an FIR under section 302 in the case. They also called on fellow users to boycott movies of several individual actors and producers including Karan Johar and Salman Khan, as they went on to label Khans, Bhatts, Kapoors, and Johar for the actor’s death.
The users have over the past few days been demanding CBI Enquiry into the case as well, but the government or authorities have so far have not paid heed to the demand across social media platforms.
Here are some of the tweets posted by users with the hashtag demanding filing of FIR under section 302 of IPC.

This is a great article CLEARLY explaining the forensics evidence of Sushant’s body and that we’re using to base the argument that it was a homicide not a suicide.

Hyderabad, Dec 22: Top Telugu actor Allu Arjun did not leave the theatre during the screening of 'Pushpa-2' on December 4 despite being told to do so in view of a stampede in which a woman died, police officials claimed on on Sunday.
Speaking at a press conference on the annual round-up of 2024, city police commissioner C V Anand showed a video, made by police, on the situation that prevailed when the stampede occurred.
The video was made by collating footage, including from news channels and cell phone clips. It suggests the actor remained in the theatre till the midnight.
Anand did not make any comment on the video, but said the media can draw its own conclusions.
A police official talked about the sequence of events on the fateful night of December 4.
He said that he and other police officials informed a manager of Allu Arjun about the death of the woman and told him that the situation was out of control. He indicated that they were not allowed to meet the actor.
Allu Arjun's staff members told them that they would convey the matter to the actor but did not do so, he said.
The official said he later managed to reach the actor, told him about the woman's death and asked him to leave the theatre so that the fans don't harm each other while trying to catch a glimpse of him.
The official also told the actor that security arrangements would be made for his exit.
However, the actor said he would go only after watching the film, the police official said.
Later, accompanied by a senior officer, the official went inside and brought the actor out, he said.
Amid allegations that bouncers hired by Allu Arjun pushed crowds as well as policemen when the stampede occurred at the cinema hall, the police commissioner warned that stringent action as per law would be taken if THE bouncers indeed misbehaved with the police on duty.
The VIPs would be made responsible for the behaviour of the bouncers hired by them, he said.
Asked if the police would appeal against the interim bail granted to Allu Arjun, the commissioner refused to give a direct response, just saying it is part of the investigation.
What course of action is taken would be known in the days to come, he said.
He also declined to comment when asked if the family of the deceased told him about Allu Arjun's team or film production team allegedly threatening them not to speak on the issue.
Meanwhile, state Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy found fault with Allu Arjun responding on Saturday to the debate in the Legislative Assembly.
The minister, who observed that the actor should have respect for the government and the chief minister, demanded an apology from Allu Arjun to the government and the CM.
"This government is never vindictive. As Cinematography Minister, we allowed benefit shows and hiking ticket prices to promote the film industry," he said.
However, Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar found fault with CM Revanth Reddy for his comments on Allu Arjun in the Assembly on Saturday.
The comments of the CM sounded like character assassination of Allu Arjun and hurting the Telugu film industry, he alleged in a statement.
Later in the day, Sanjay Kumar visited a boy who is undergoing treatment in a hospital after being injured in the stampede.
"Consoled his father over the heartbreaking loss of his wife, Revathi. I pray to god that Sritej recovers at the earliest. Assured support to the family in this difficult time," Kumar said on X.
Earlier in the day, state DGP Jitender told reporters in Karimnagar district that film personalities and all others should understand that safety and security of citizens is utmost important, and also conduct themselves accordingly.
