A day after late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti requested the actor’s fans to stand together and demand a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into her brother’s death, several Bollywood stars including Varun Dhawan, Parineeti Chopra, Kriti Sanon and Sooraj Pancholi, among others, have come out and demanded a CBI probe for Rajput.

The clamour for a CBI probe has grown louder, two months after the ‘Kedarnath’ actor was found hanging at his Bandra residence. In an Instagram story, Varun Dhawan wrote ‘#cbiforSSR’ followed by a folded hands emoji. Parineeti Chopra, on the other hand, wrote ‘All that is needed, is the truth, #JusticeForSSR’.

Sooraj Pancholi wrote a message on his story, hoping that the actor’s family gets the closure that they need. ‘They need to know what actually happened, and the World needs to know too! #CBIForSSR’, wrote Pancholi.

On Thursday, actress Kangana Ranaut, who has been critical about the way the Mumbai Police has handled the probe into the late actor’s death, posted a video with ‘#CBIForSSR’ written on a placard.

‘Mumbai police wants to rush the probe, Sanjay Raut saying they are almost done with the investigation, we deserve to know the truth,’ Ranaut captioned the video.
