Subramanian Swamy deduces 'Motive 1' for Sushant's 'murder', says 'second is political'

As the investigation continues in the death case of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has deduced the 'motive' behind the 'murder'. Highlighting that the late actor was too 'independent and talented' for the Bollywood cartel to ignore, Swamy stated that this was the primary motive to 'eliminate' Sushant. The Rajya Sabha MP also informed that there is another motive which is 'political' in nature, but he will reveal it later as he needs more research on it.

Initially, the actor's death was claimed to be a suicide, however, several reports hinted at a possible foul play ruling out the 'suicide angle'.
