Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide, AIIMS' report rules out murder angle

In a major breakthrough related to Sushant Singh Rajput's death case, AIIMS has ruled out the possibility that the actor was murdered on the basis of forensic reports.

Dr Sudhir Gupta, head of AIIMS panel re-evaluating Sushant's forensic report, was quoted by India Today as saying, " Sushant death is a case of suicide. Murder completely rules out."

"There were no injuries on the body other than of hanging. There were no marks of struggle/scuffle on the body and clothes of the deceased," said Dr Sudhir Gupta.

The AIIMS' panel had submitted their final reports on September 29.

Sushant's family lawyer, Vikas Singh, had earlier alleged that an AIIMS doctor informed him that the ligature marks on Sushant's neck indicated that it was a clear case of strangulation.

Dr Gupta, however, refuted Singh's claims saying no such information was passed on.

Meanwhile, AIIMS' report has attracted several reaction from Sushant's near and dear ones.

Sushant's sister, Shweta Singh Kirti, who has been at the forefront of justice campaign for the deceased actor, shared a social media post.

Shweta took to social media, and wrote, “We Will Win!” She also posted a picture of Sushant, with a tilak on his forehead.

On October 1, she had tweeted, “We have faith in CBI, we are an inch closer to finding the truth! Next few days are crucial… We might hear some good news. Very hopeful. I know God is with us for sure. We are calling it #Revolution4SSR ARE YOU WITH US??”

Sushant's cousin and BJP MP, Neeraj Kumar Singh 'Bablu', reacting to the reports said that he still still believes Sushant was murdered.

According a report of NDTV, the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) will continue to probe the abetment of suicide angle in the case.

Sushant's father had accused his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her kin of abetting the actor's suicide. He had also held her responsible for money laundering.

Rhea is currently in judicial custody after NCB arrested her under NDPS act. The NCB had claimed Rhea and her brother were involved in procuring and purchasing banned narcotic substances.
