Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath offered condolences on the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput who was found dead at his apartment in Mumbai's Bandra. Taking it to Twitter, Adityanath said, "It is astonishing and sad to see an emerging talented young artist like Sushant Singh Rajput depart from the mortal world. Pray to Lord Rama to rest his soul in peace... My condolences to his bereaved family. Om Shanti."
Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging at his Bandra apartment on Sunday, police said. He was 34. His last screen appearance was "Chhichhore", directed by Nitesh Tiwari.
“He has committed suicide at his residence in Bandra. He was found hanging today. We are investigating," Manoj Sharma, additional commissioner of police, Western Region, told PTI.
Sources from the Bandra Police said on the basis of primary information, a case of accidental death report will be registered. No suicide note was found from the spot, they said.
Rajput's former manager, 28-year-old Disha Salian, ended her life by jumping from a high rise building on June 9. Last week, the actor mourned Salian's death and called it "devastating news".
"It's such devastating news. My deepest condolences to Disha's family and friends. May your soul rest in peace," he had written on his Instagram stories.
