Sushant Singh Rajput Birth Anniversary: A street in New Delhi to be named after the late actor

Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14. Sushant, who would have turned 35 on Thursday, committed suicide at his Bandra residence last year and his death case is still under investigation by the officials. The actor’s fans had been flooding the social media with throwback pictures and videos on his birth anniversary. Also, in Sushant’s memory, a stretch of road in Andrews Ganj in south Delhi will soon be named after the late actor. The area’s civic body has cleared a proposal for it as confirmed by the officials on Thursday.

According to a report by PTI, SDMC’s Congress councillor Abhishek Dutt had moved the proposal to name the road after Sushant in September 2020. An official said, “It was cleared by the SDMC House in its meeting yesterday.”

The Andrews Ganj councillor had sent the proposal to the civic body’s road naming and renaming committee in the BJP-led South Delhi Municipal Corporation. Dutt had said in the written proposal that there are a large number of people hailing from Bihar in the area abutting Road No 8. He further claimed that “they have been demanding” to name the stretch from Andrews Ganj to Indira Camp as ‘Sushant Singh Rajput Marg’. So Dutt proposed that the Road No 8 be named after the actor in his memory.
