A team of doctors from Delhi’s AIIMS has reportedly said in its opinion to CBI that Actor Sushant Singh Rajput was not murdered and it is a case of suicide, reported NDTV, dismissing the theories of poisoning and strangling floated by the actor’s family and their lawyer.
Sources said the AIIMS Panel has completed the examination and closed the file after giving conclusive medico-legal opinion in this case and the CBI is corroborating the report with their investigation.
According to sources, The CBI is likely to continue its probe into abetment to suicide, the charge that was originally listed by the Bihar Police.
They also said the AIIMS panel has concurred with the opinion of the Mumbai hospital that carried out the autopsy. The Mumbai hospital’s autopsy had found asphyxia due to hanging as the cause of death.
Sources added that circumstantial evidence also suggests that it was a case of suicide and not murder.
The Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) was tasked by the CBI to forensically examine the crime scene for any evidence of foul play in the death.
“All aspects are still open in the probe, if any evidence comes to light proving otherwise, Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (murder) will be added, but nothing has come up in 45 days of probe,” the sources said.
