#BoycottFlipkart Trends: T-shirt with Sushant Singh Rajput’s pic and ‘depression’ quote sparks row

Flipkart has come under a lot of flak on social media for selling a t-shirt with a picture of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput and a message on depression.

The fans were angry as the T-Shirt claimed the actor was a victim of depression. However, no judgement has been passed on the actor’s death yet by the law as the CBI probe is on. Many claimed that this was done in bad taste and called out Flipkart to remove the product immediately.

Many on Twitter called it a ‘smear campaign’ against Rajput, and demanded an apology from the online shopping platform.

“It’s not a correct way to develop your online stores. First, you remove this t-shirt from the sale. Don’t play with another’s emotions,” a user posted.

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his room in Bandra, Mumbai in June 2020. A post-mortem report cited ‘asphyxia due to hanging’ as the cause of his death. Initial reports quoted Mumbai Police and stated the cause of his death was ‘accidental death.

Later, the case was handed over to the CBI, Enforcement Directorate, and the Narcotics Control Bureau for further investigation. In the latest development related to Sushant’s death, the NCB filed draft charges against Sushant’s then-girlfriend actor Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik and others before a special court.
