SSR's sister Meetu Singh says people are turning tragedy into profit, clarifies no one 'authorised to raise funds'

Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's sister Meetu Singh has come out and slammed the various fundraisers going on in the name of her brother ahead of his first death anniversary on June 14.  

Since the actor passed away in June last year, his fans and well-wishers have been donating money, food and raising funds in the name of the actor. 

Meetu Singh tweeted that no one in her family has authorised anyone to run a fundraiser of any sort or have agreed for a biopic on her brother. In a series of tweets, she wrote, "Unfortunately, it has come to our notice that some people are taking advantage of this situation for their own personal benefits which is an unexplainably inhuman act. All these people are required to refrain themselves from doing so. We would also like to bring this to everyone’s notice that the family has not authorized anyone to raise donations or funds in the name of SSR and no one has the consent to make anything about or related to SSR, be it a movie, a book or merchandise. The family is not fond of turning a devastating tragedy into a profit and we will not allow anyone to do so. #JusticeForSushantSinghRajput #SSRians #SushantSinghRajput"

Sushant Singh Rajput had reportedly committed suicide in his Bandra apartment in Mumbai last year on June 14. There were speculations about his death, his family had filed a case against Rhea Chakraborty, Sushant’s girlfriend at the time of his death. The investigation is still going on.  

Meanwhile, Sushant's US-based sister Shweta Singh Kirti has gone into a solitary retreat for a month. She tweeted, "I am going on a solitary retreat for the whole month of June in the mountains. I won’t have access to internet or cell services there. Bhai’s one year of passing on will be spent in cherishing his sweet memories in silence."

He was last seen in ‘Dil Bechara’ opposite Sanjana Sanghi which was also Mukesh Chhabra’s directorial debut. The film was released after his death.
