WAS SUSHANT SINGH RAJPUT 'MURDERED'? WHAT DOES THE 'AUTOPSY' REVEAL? HOSPITAL RESPONDS TO DOUBTS AND CONCERNS! DETAILS

After receiving many queries regarding late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s autopsy reports, a five-member medical board of forensic experts was formed on Friday by the AIIMS administration to look into the autopsy file related to his death. This step comes after the CBI approached the hospital for assistance.

“We will look into the possibility of murder. However, all probable angles will be thoroughly examined,” AIIMS’ forensic department chief Dr Sudhir Gupta, who will be leading the team, told PTI.

He also said that the team will be analysing the injury pattern on the actor’s body and attempt to correlate it with circumstantial evidence. “The preserved viscera will be examined and the anti-depressants that were given to Rajput will also be analysed at the AIIMS laboratory,” Gupta said.

While being questioned about the missing time stamp on the autopsy report, he said, “it is a hard fact, what can be said about that ... they should give it. It is mandatory. I will speak to doctors also and then I will be able to give a detailed comment,” Dr Gupta told India Today.

While talking about his view on the lapses, he said, “The column of time is left blank, they have to give an answer. The police should take a second opinion from doctors, which they did not. If there is something missing (in the autopsy report) they have to take a second opinion from doctors.”

The CBI reportedly approached the forensic department of AIIMS on Friday. In a letter to the medical institute, CBI said that it will provide the team of forensic experts with the required medical papers, post- mortem reports, videographs as well as viscera reports at the earliest.

“It is in connection with the investigation of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case that a medical board of doctors of the AIIMS, New Delhi is required to be constituted for providing an expert medical opinion,” CBI said in its letter.

“The necessary medical papers, post-mortem reports, viscera reports will be provided at the earliest. It is therefore requested that a medical board of doctors at the AIIMS, New Delhi may please be constituted and deputed for visiting the place of occurrence at Mumbai at the earliest,” the statement added.
