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.

New Delhi (PTI): Three members of a family were found dead inside their home in southeast Delhi's Kalkaji on Friday, with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide, officials said.

Police said the incident came to light around 2.47 pm when a police team reached the premises to execute a court order related to possession of the property. When repeated knocks went unanswered, the staff used a duplicate key to open the door.

Inside, officers found Anuradha Kapoor (52) and her sons, Ashish Kapoor (32) and Chaitanya Kapoor (27), hanging from the ceiling, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) Hemant Tiwari said in a statement. All three were declared dead.

A handwritten note was recovered from the room, suggesting the family had been struggling with depression.

"The handwritten note indicates emotional distress faced by the family due to which the family may have taken the extreme step," the officer said.

The bodies have been shifted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) mortuary for post-mortem and other legal formalities under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), police said.

Residents of the neighbourhood said they were shocked to learn about the deaths, adding that the family kept largely to themselves.

Pankaj Kashyap, a resident of Girinagar, said he learnt about the deaths while leaving for work. "I live and work here and was leaving for work when I saw many people standing outside and talking. That is how I got to know that three people had committed suicide. I also saw several police vehicles outside, but I do not know much beyond that," he said.

Baldev, another neighbour, said the family had been living in the newly constructed house for around two years. "We only knew that a mother and her two children lived there. They had moved into the newly built house around two years ago. We did not interact much with them. Today we heard that all three have committed suicide, and whatever we know is based on what people here are saying," he said.

Another neighbour, Ramesh Kumar, claimed the family had earlier attempted suicide.

"About fifteen to twenty days ago, the two sons in the family had attempted suicide and police and ambulances had come. That was when I first got to know who they were. I do not recognise them by face, but we saw the ambulances and police take the two sons that day. Today again we saw ambulances and police arriving, so everyone came out to see what had happened. I do not know how long they had been living here, but this is all we know," he said.

Police said they are examining the family's financial condition, social circumstances, and other factors that may have contributed to the incident. Further investigation is underway.
