Could it be that Indian news channels realised that their SSR trials had no proof to back allegations? Or did the Modi govt send them an off-the-record message?
Not a word is being uttered about Sushant Singh Rajput by any political party during Bihar election campaign. The electorate is not interested to talk about him either.
