Wikipedia founder has message for Sushant Singh Rajput fans as they lead Twitter campaign

Fans of Sushant Singh Rajput have been been relentlessly in pursuit of ‘justice’ for the late actor’s death. The ‘SSRians’ have been going ahead with numerous campaigns, right from alerting the higher-ups to coming up with social initiatives, and one of the latest initiatives was against Wikipedia over the mentioned cause of death. As the campaign caught on, even the founder of the website issued a clarification on their information being based on ‘reliable sources.’

Wikipedia founder responds to Sushant Singh Rajput fans

Sushant was found dead under mysterious circumstances at his Mumbai residence on June 14 last year. The Wikipedia page of the late actor has mentioned the cause of death as ‘suicide by hanging.’ Fans had asked Wikipedia to change the cause of death, alleging that he was ‘murdered’, a few months after his death.

Recently they started the campaign again, trending ‘Wikipedia, Sushant was murdered.’

Responding to the fan trend, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales wrote that the website was based on 'reliable sources' and not 'Twitter campaigns.' He also posted the guidelines of the website on what constituted ‘reliable sources’. Along with that, he also posted what seemed like an administrator page of SSR,  which had the history of the numerous changes made to the page. Wales also shared his own account, urging fans to ‘discuss with' him.

Fans, however, were unhappy and shared that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Narcotics Control Bureau were still probing the case and no such conclusion was made. Even SSR's friend Smita Parikh reacted strongly to it.

Meanwhile, the death of SSR recently completed 11 months. Actor Shekhar Suman and Sushant’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti had remembered him, with the former asking if there was ‘still hope.’
