Street in Delhi to be named after Sushant Singh Rajput

A stretch of road in Andrews Ganj in south Delhi will soon be named after the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

As per the officials, the area's civic body has cleared a proposal for it too.

Sushant, who would have turned 35 on Thursday, was found dead at his Bandra residence in Mumbai on June 14 last year.

SDMC's Congress Councillor Abhishek Dutt in September 2020 had moved the proposal to name the road after the actor.

"It was cleared by the SDMC House in its meeting yesterday," said a senior official.

In the written proposal to the committee, Dutt had said that a large number of people living in the area abutting Road No 8 hail from Bihar, and had claimed "they have been demanding" to name the stretch from Andrews Ganj to Indira Camp as 'Sushant Singh Rajput Marg'.

So, it is proposed that Road No 8 be named after the actor in his memory, said Abhishek.
