A report in a leading daily quoted mayor Savita Devi as saying, "Sushant was a great artist and renaming of the road and roundabout is Purnea’s way of paying tribute to him. The road that goes from Madhubani to Mata Chowk will now be called Sushant Singh Rajput road and the Ford Company roundabout has also been rechristened to Sushant Singh Rajput Chowk." Savita Devi has also written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding a CBI probe in the death of Sushant.
