The BJP leader has been vocal about his support for further investigations into the death case of the Bollywood actor. Last month, he had demanded an inquiry into Sushant Singh Rajput death by Enforcement Directorate (ED) and had raised the issue about the demand for CBI investigation by the public. He had tweeted, “There is a huge public sentiment about handing over SushantSinghRajput case to CBI but looking at the reluctance of State Government, atleast @dir_ed ED can register an ECIR since misappropriation and money laundering angle has come out.” The Supreme Court verdict has been welcomed by Rajput’s family and several thousand fans who were demanding justice for the actor. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy also expressed his happiness about the verdict and wrote 'CBI Jay Ho' on his Twitter page.
