Dr Sudhir Gupta, the chairman of the AIIMS medical board, claimed that actor Sushant Singh Rajput was “murdered” in an audio clip.
In the leaked audio tape, Dr Gupta, the head of the AIIMS team formed on CBI request for an expert medical opinion in the case, claimed that the actor didn’t die by suicide but was murdered.
The medical board chief had reportedly made the statement after looking at the pictures of Rajput.
Dr Gupta’s leaked audio admission contradicts the medical team’s findings submitted to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday.
In its report, the panel of AIIMS forensic experts has ruled out murder claims and called it a case of hanging and death by suicide, rejecting the claims of poisoning and strangling made by the actor's family and their lawyer.
“There were no injuries on the body other than of hanging. There were no marks of struggle or scuffle on the body and clothes of the deceased,” Dr Gupta said in board’s findings.
The medical board of AIIMS forensic experts, headed by Dr Gupta, was set up in August after the CBI requested it to look into the medical files related to Rajput's death, study the autopsy, and viscera reports and give an expert medical opinion in the case.
