One user even served a notice against the online shopping platform for selling T-shirts with a misleading quote. He wrote, “I will serve notice to @Flipkart tonight (for approving a material which is defaming a deceased) as a common and responsible citizen. & BW Killed SSR DreamProjects TL participants.”

After outrage,  Flipkart seems to have taken down the T-shirt from the website. Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14, 2020. He was found dead at his Mumbai residence under mysterious circumstances.
