"Dead man cannot defend himself": Shekhar Suman slams people for spoiling Sushant's reputation

Shekhar Suman has hit out at all the people who had said Sushant Singh Rajput was a ‘drug addict’. In his recent tweet, the actor slammed all those attacking Sushant’s character and shared, “All the confessions and testimonials of the women being probed for the drug case are tarnishing Sushant's name calling him a drug addict. Also attacking his character. This is so unfair and inhuman, for a dead man cannot defend himself.” In a TV interview prior to her arrest, Rhea had said that Sushant used to smoke marijuana. In an interview to India Today she said, “Yes, Sushant used to smoke marijuana, he used to take it even before he met me. He started this during Kedarnath. I used to control him in this department only. He was a man of his own choices and nobody could stop him.”

The Jalebi actress in her bail plea had stated, “Sushant Singh Rajput was the only consumer of drugs and that he was directing his staff members to procure his drugs.” She added, “If the late actor were alive today, he would have been charged for the consumption of small quantities, which is a bailable offence having punishment of a term of imprisonment upto one year.”The 34 year old actor was in a relationship with Rhea Chakraborty before his tragic demise on June 14.  Sushant’s father had levelled several allegations against the actress in an FIR filed in July. Last month, Rhea was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau in connection to a drugs-case, which emerged from Sushant’s death probe. Several Bollywood celebrities have also been questioned by the NCB in connection to the drugs probe.
