Flipkart Draws Criticism For A T-Shirt Featuring Sushant Singh Rajput Image With A Gloomy Quotation

The e-commerce site Flipkart has received a lot of backlash on social media. For selling a t-shirt with a photo of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput and a gloomy-themed quotation.

With a picture of the late actor, the T-shirt in statement reads, "Depression is like drowning." The hashtag #BoycottFlipkart is trending on Twitter as upset SSR fans expressed their outrage. Many people on Twitter demanded an apology from the online retail site, calling it a "smear campaign" against Rajput.

"It is not the correct way to develop your online stores first you remove this t-shirt from the sale. Don't play with other emotions #BoycottFlipkart" wrote a user.

I am glad that I was never your customer & will never be in the future @Flipkart @flipkartsupport, those who forgot humanity to defame the one who is not here defend himself, those who are involved in Smear Campaign Against SSR. I support #BoycottFlipkart. Another user posted. Though there are plenty of tweets posted with #BycottFlipkart.

The T-Shirt that claimed the actor was a victim of depression infuriated the fans. Although the CBI investigation is ongoing, the law has not yet made a decision regarding the actor's death. Many people argued that this was done in terrible taste and demanded that Flipkart take down the product from the market right away.

In June 2020, Sushant Singh Rajput's body was discovered in his Bandra, Mumbai, residence. The cause of death was stated in the post-mortem report as "asphyxia due to hanging," Initial sources cited Mumbai Police as saying that he died "accidentally."

The CBI, Enforcement Directorate, and Narcotics Control Bureau were later given the case to continue their investigation. In the most recent development about Sushant's passing, the NCB filed draught charges before a special court against Sushant's ex-girlfriend actor Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Show, and others.
