Screenshots of few tweets are being shared on social media claiming them to be the last tweets of actor Sushanth Singh Rajput before his death. In the post, it is mentioned that these tweets were later on deleted by him for some unknown reason. Let’s verify the authenticity of the tweets in the post.

The archived version of the post can be found here.

Claim: Screenshots of tweets made by actor Sushanth Singh Rajput before his suicide on 14 June 2020.

Fact:  The tweets in the screenshot weren’t made by Sushanth Singh Rajput. Multiple inconsistencies in the format can be noticed in these tweets when compared with a standard tweet. So, the tweets in the screenshot are digitally created using a tool like ‘Photoshop’. Hence the claim made is FALSE.    

When the tweets in the screenshot are carefully observed, one can notice the following differences – 

  • The alignment of text and profile picture is not the same in all the tweets, and is not consistent with the format of a normal tweet.
  • The date and time stamp format in these tweets is also different from a normal tweet. ‘am’ and ‘jun’ we notice in the timestamp of these tweets should actually be ‘AM’ and ‘Jun’.
  • The tweets in the screenshot are not part of a thread but still have the same time (5:43) on them.

So, the tweets in the screenshot are fake and could have been digitally created using a tool like ‘Photoshop’. These fake tweets are being shared as the last tweets of actor Sushanth Singh Rajput before his death.
