#Candle4SSR has been trending on Twitter throughout Wednesday.
The protest, #Candle4SSR, is also a peaceful way of requesting authorities to initiate a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the actor's untimely demise.
Appointed by politician Subramanian Swamy, Ishkaran has been pushing for a CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) inquiry into the death of Sushant. On Tuesday, he tweeted, "It was decided by today during my Youtube Live that Tomorrow all those who want Justice for Sushant Singh Rajput will do peaceful protest & light candle at 8 pm. #Candle4SSR - this hashtag (people decided) for tomorrow."
Sushant died by suicide on June 14, at the age of 34. While the post-mortem ruled out any foul play, it has been alleged that professional rivalry may have driven him to take the step.
