Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead on June 14 in his Mumbai apartment. (Proceedings)
New Delhi:
Actor Sushant Singh Rajput was not killed and it is a suicide case, a team of doctors from AIIMS Delhi have told CBI in their opinion, sources have told NDTV, dismissing the theories of poisoning and strangulation raised by the family. of the actor and his lawyer. .
The 34-year-old movie star was found dead on June 14 in her Mumbai apartment. Although the Mumbai police, based on the autopsy, called it suicide, the wild speculations and justice campaigns on social media and the allegations by Sushant Singh Rajput’s family raised questions that became part of a general investigation of CBI.
The sources said that the AIIMS Panel completed the examination and closed the file after giving a conclusive medico-legal opinion in this case and the CBI is corroborating the report with its investigation.
The CBI is likely to continue its investigation into “complicity in suicide,” the charge that was originally listed by the Bihar Police, the sources said.
They also said that the AIIMS panel has agreed with the opinion of the Mumbai hospital that carried out the autopsy. The Mumbai hospital autopsy found “asphyxia from hanging” as the cause of death.
Sources added that circumstantial evidence also suggests that it was a suicide case and not a murder case.
Sushant Singh Rajput’s family and some friends had raised questions about how he died.
The CBI commissioned the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) to forensically examine the crime scene for any evidence of foul play in the death.
“All aspects are still open in the investigation, if any evidence to the contrary comes to light, Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (murder) will be added, but nothing has emerged in 45 days of investigation,” sources said .
The CBI investigation began after the family filed a case accusing the actor’s girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty, of mentally harassing him, medicating him, exploiting him for money and playing a role in his death.
The central investigative agency has questioned and examined more than 20 people in its 57 days of investigation and the sources also add that the agency has forensically examined the seized laptop, hard drives, digital camera and two mobile phones in the case. .
Agency sources told NDTV: “All aspects are being analyzed, including the angle of the murder. So far, no evidence has appeared to show that it is a murder case. If during the course of the investigation we obtain some evidence, the murder charge “For now, complicity in suicide and other charges in the FIR are being investigated.”
Last week, the family’s lawyer, Vikas Singh, claimed that a doctor on the AIIMS panel had told him that Sushant Singh had been strangled.
“Frustrated by the delay in which CBI made the decision to turn the complicity in suicide into Murder of SSR. The Doctor who is part of the AIIMS team had told me a long time ago that the photos sent by me indicated 200% that it was death for strangulation and not suicide, “he had tweeted.
Following the complaint, Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer had called for a new medical board “to keep investigations impartial and free from inferences.”
In a statement last Monday, the CBI said it was conducting a “professional investigation” where “all aspects are being analyzed and no aspects have been ruled out.”
