In the letter, Ganesh claimed that he had no knowledge of this post and believed that his accounts were 'hacked.' He then claimed that he asked his friend Bhuleshwar to come to his house, and the latter put medicine on his wound. Ganesh then asked him to leave, asking him to lock the door.

Ganesh then claimed that, however, people then barged in through the door again, along with the police and took him to the Balasaheb Thackeray Trauma Care Hospital ‘unnecessarily’ and gave him injections. He alleged that he asked the police to lodge the complaint, but they refused and dropped him home.

"In the past received some threat calls of which I can provide numbers and evidence. I feel my life is under a threat from the time I started protesting and speaking demanding justice for Sushant Singh Rajput," he alleged in his letter.

Ganesh was among the popular names along with SSR's family, Ankita Lokhande and Shekhar Suman in the ‘justice for SSR’ movement after the Chhichhore actor's mysterious death on June 14.

Right from performing religious rituals, holding a hunger strike at Jantar  Mantar to carrying out rallies in various parts of the country, Ganesh has been in the headlines.
