Shweta Singh Kirti claims SSR's leg was broken, gun use found in post-mortem
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Shweta Singh Kirti, sister of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has made fresh claims about her brother's death, alleging that a person who reportedly conducted his post-mortem told her that 'there was gun use,' that 'his leg was broken,' and that 'a lot of force was used on him.' She also alleged that 'his eyes were hurt.' The claims, shared via a video message, have reignited debate around one of Hindi cinema's most controversial and disputed cases.
What Shweta Claimed
In the video, Shweta said, 'We got to know recently that that post-mortem person who did post-mortem on Bhai told that there was gun use and his leg was broken and a lot of force was used on him. His eyes were hurt.'
She did not identify the individual she was referring to, nor did she specify when or how this information was conveyed to her. The claims have not been independently verified, and no official statement from law enforcement agencies has corroborated them.
Her Call for Love Over Resentment
Despite the gravity of her allegations, Shweta struck a notably spiritual tone in the video. Reflecting on the emotional outpouring she experienced after returning from Atlanta, she described being met by 'hundreds' of supporters 'hugging and crying' for her brother.
She acknowledged the emotional difficulty of forgiveness in such circumstances, saying, 'If it happens to your own somebody whom you love, you just somehow takes a lot more courage to forgive.' She added that she did not want 'to be consumed by hatred, by revenge, by resentment,' and described her life's purpose as standing 'for love, for faith, for goodness and for God.'
Shweta also urged her followers to hold on to faith, saying, 'There is unfairness in the world. OK, I accept that. And maybe good people do have to go through a lot of pain. But pain is your way to transformation.'
Background: Sushant Singh Rajput's Death
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on 14 June 2020. Authorities at the time recorded his death as a case of alleged suicide by hanging. The case subsequently became one of the most politically and publicly debated deaths in Indian entertainment history, drawing in multiple agencies — including the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).
His family, fans, and a section of the media have consistently questioned the official version, alleging foul play. However, investigations to date have not led to any criminal charges related to his death. Notably, this is not the first time his family has publicly challenged the post-mortem findings or the circumstances of his passing.
Context and Credibility Questions
Shweta's latest claims are unverified and based on her account of a conversation with an unnamed individual she describes as the person who 'did the post-mortem.' Independent forensic review of the claims has not been initiated, according to available information. Legal and forensic experts have previously noted that extraordinary claims about post-mortem findings require documentary evidence — such as official reports or whistleblower disclosures through proper legal channels — to be substantiated.
The case continues to attract significant public attention more than six years after Sushant's passing, with his fanbase remaining vocal across social media platforms.
What Comes Next
It remains to be seen whether Shweta's latest claims will prompt any fresh legal action, application to reopen the investigation, or official response from the CBI or the Mumbai Police. As of now, the family has not announced any specific legal steps based on the new claims.
