BJP MLA from Chhatapur constituency in Bihar Neeraj Kumar Singh, who is the first cousin of Sushant Singh Rajput, said the family is shocked after hearing about the sudden death of the actor.

“He was my brother. I am on my way to Mumbai, via Delhi. He had visited us last year and had travelled with me to our native place. I am finding it difficult to accept that he is no longer with us” said Singh to THE WEEK.

Singh said he is trying to get further details about Sushant’s death from his sources in Mumbai.

Sushant was very close to his mother, who he lost at the age of 16 in 2002.

Last year, in May, Sushant visited his mother’s birthplace, Bornai, in Bihar’s Purnia district for the first time after her death. The visit was to fulfil his mother’s wish. He stayed in the village with his relatives for a few days. Singh, who is the son of the actor’s father’s brother, had accompanied Sushant during the trip.

Sushant had dedicated his last Instagram post on June 3 to his late mother. It showed pictures of the two, placed next to each other, with a verse that that the actor penned, mentioning ‘a fleeting life’.

“Blurred past evaporating from teardrops. Unending dreams carving an arc of smile. And a fleeting life, negotiating between the two...,” the post read.
