Leaked audio tape of AIIMS doctor claiming Sushant's death as murder goes viral

The forensic department of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in its report to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has "hinted" that the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was suicide and not murder. Now as per a E-times report, a leaked audiotape has AIIMS chief Dr Gupta claiming that Sushant didn’t die by suicide but was murdered has gone viral. According to reports, he had made this statement after looking at the pictures of Sushant’s mortal remains. Sushant’s family is now demanding for a fresh forensic investigation. Earlier in a statement, Dr Sudhir Gupta, AIIMS Forensic Head had said, “We have concluded our conclusive report. It is a case of hanging and death by suicide. There were no injuries over the body other than hanging. There were no marks of struggle/ scuffle in the body and clothes of the deceased.”

On the other hand, Republic TV also released few audio tapes which dates back to August 22nd wherein Sudhir Gupta is heard saying, that the crime scene was not kept intact. This audio tape suggests that the AIIMS team has probably made a U-turn in the case. Earlier, reacting to the suicide theory, Sushant’s family lawyer Vikas Singh had tweeted, “Highly perturbed with AIIMS report. Going to request CBI Director to constitute a fresh Forensic team . How could AIIMS team give a conclusive report in the absence of the body, that too on such shoddy post mortem done by Cooper hospital wherein time of death also not mentioned.”

Rajput was found hanging in his Bandra apartment on June 14. The Mumbai Police had earlier registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and launched an investigation. However, the CBI took over the probe into the high-profile case in August following the Supreme Court's nod.  Rajput's father KK Singh had on July 25 lodged a complaint with the Bihar police against actor Rhea Chakraborty and her family members accusing them of abetting his suicide. Since then, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) have started the investigation into an alleged money laundering and drug angle in connection to the actor's death. More than 20 persons, including Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik have been arrested, whereas several prominent personalities have been summoned by the NCB.
