Meanwhile, Roopa Ganguly has been posting several tweets with a hashtag #cbiforsushant.
"Pointing a finger toward the aspect of 'depression' is probably shifting of the focus from the real problem that led to the passing away of Sushant. Shouldn't we really look into it or brush it off as a possible suicide? #cbiforsushant," she wrote.
"What I hear and I see seems inconclusive and rushed about labelling the passing of Sushant as a suicide. We should probe deeper, CBI should be conducting the investigation. #cbiforsushant," read another of her tweet.
Sushant's sudden demise has left the nation in a state of shock. It has also sparked an uproar in the film fraternity and elsewhere regarding the existing nepotism, favouritism and power play in the industry.
