When the flood fury devastated the lives of the people of Nagaland then one man stood beside them like a true protector. He was none other than Sushant Singh Rajput, the 34-year-old Bollywood star who committed suicide allegedly due to acute depression in his Mumbai residence on the 14th of June Sunday. 

Not only the common populace of the state of Nagaland but the Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, recalled his kind deeds for the state. The Himalayan state mourns the untimely demise of the actor who stood by them when they need him the most.
