Sushant's suicide has created great pain in society. His demise has started a digital war between the outsiders and insiders. While Sushant's fans have lost their faith in the Mumbai Police, the police have clearly termed Sushant's death as 'Suicide', not murder. 

Recently, a theory by a fan went viral, in which it was claimed that the actor’s Wikipedia page was edited, and someone added the information of his suicide much before he committed suicide.

As per the police, the postmortem report suggests that he committed suicide at around 10:30 AM. Social media users claim that the Wikipedia page was edited at 8:59 AM, where the editor added the info of his death and claimed that he committed suicide. The fan also shared screenshots of the edit.

Before raising our voice against the system on the basis of a theory, let's have a reality check. Wikipedia is an open-source encyclopedia where anyone can make changes in the information provided.  The editors check and confirm the changes, and if they find any problem with it, they reverse the difference and, in some cases, ban the user. 


Here the issue is with not the information but with the time zone. According to the “View History” section of Wikipedia, someone started editing Sushant’s page at around 8:55 AM on 14th June 2020. Before that, the last change was made on 8th June 2020. At 8:59 AM, the Wikipedia user added the information that he has committed suicide. The IP location of the editor is 139.5.242.88 that can be traced to New Delhi. That means someone from India edited it.


Though the time shows 8:59 AM, it is not according to Indian Standard Time. Wikipedia uses Coordinated Universal Time or UTC that is 5:30 hours behind IST. Anyone who changed the article on Wikipedia on Sushant Singh Rajput did it at 8:59 AM UTC that converts to 2:29 PM IST.


Therefore the theory can be termed as fake.
