Doctor Sudhir Gupta, Chairman of AIIMS’ Forensic Medical Board reportedly revealed that they are in agreement with CBI in the Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case.
According to a report in a news portal, Sudhir Gupta noted that there is still the need to look into certain legal aspects for the authorities to reach a logical legal conclusion. The AIIMS team recently shared ‘conclusive findings’ in a report that they submitted to the CBI. In a statement, the CBI stated that it would analyse the entire report along with the evidence presented to derive if it is a suicide case or not.
Earlier, Sushant Singh Rajput’s family’s lawyer, Vikas Singh, had claimed that as per AIIMS doctors’ report, the cause of the actor’s death was “200% strangulation”. However, Dr Sudhir Gupta had termed these claims “incorrect”.
Initially, the panel of AIIMS doctors was to conclude on September 22 if the actor’s death was a suicide or a murder, however, the probe got extended. This is when Sushant Singh Rajput’s family’s lawyer Vikas Singh had said the delay by CBI in taking a decision on the cause actor’s death was “frustrating”.
“Getting frustrated by the delay in CBI taking a decision to convert abetment to suicide to murder of SSR [Sushant Singh Rajput]. The Doctor who is part of AIIMS team had told me long back that the photos sent by me indicated 200% that it’s death by strangulation and not suicide.”
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai home on June 14. The cause of death as per Mumbai Police’s initial investigation, as well as his autopsy report, was asphyxia due to hanging.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the CBI, formed to probe Sushant’s death case, was in close touch with the AIIMS doctors to decide the direction of the investigation.
