#BoycottFlipkart trends on Twitter as 'depression' T-shirt with Sushant Singh Rajput's photo surfaces

Sushant Singh Rajput’s fans are trending #BoycottFlipkart for ‘cheap marketing’ after the e-commerce website reportedly started selling a T-shirt with a photo of the late actor and message that read ‘Depression is like drowning’.

Fans say the message on the T-shirt indicated that the ‘Kedarnath’ actor died by suicide. Angry fans took to Twitter to condemn Flipkart and demanded an apology from the online shopping portal and the removal of the said T-shirt from the website. The T-shirt does not exist on the site any longer.

A fan wrote: "Country has not yet come out of the shock of Sushant's tragic death. We will keep raising our voice for justice..Flipkart should be ashamed of this heinous act and should apologize that such incident will not be repeated again."
