Sudhir alleged that these 8 people conspired against Sushant, leading to his suicide, which he pleaded amounted to murder. He filed a criminal complaint under Sections 306, 109, 504, and 506 of IPC. The hearing is scheduled to take place on July 3 in Muzaffarpur, Bihar's local court.

He had told ANI at the time, "I have filed a case against 8 people including Karan Johar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Salman Khan & Ekta Kapoor under Sections 306, 109, 504 & 506 of IPC in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide case in a court in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. In the complaint, I have alleged that Sushant Singh Rajput was removed from around seven films and some of his films were not released. Such a situation was created which forced him to take the extreme step."
