The CBI has begin investigating Sushant Singh Rajput death case. Now, as per latest development, apart from detailed autopsy report, the inquest report (panchnama) and videography of the post-mortem will be initially examined.
“Who was the first person on scene of crime to decide that Sushant was dead? On what grounds he decided that Sushant was no more…? We have in mind such key questions to be asked to this person,” said Sudhir
According to Sudhir K Gupta, the inquest report is another crucial document to be re-examined in detail. The panchnama reveals all the ingredients of the scene of crime. It describes the position of the body, the limbs, and the condition of the clothes worn by the deceased and details of its surroundings.
“We need all the photographs of Sushant‘s room…where the body was found. The entire forensic done on the scene has to be re-examined,” said Sudhir K Gupta, whose opinions in the Sunanda Pushkar case, Jessica Lal murder, and the killings of Shivani Bhatnagar and Nitish Katara provided as important clues to the CBI.
In the mysterious death of journalist Nirupma Pathak, the findings of Sudhir K Gupta changed the course of the investigation. Like Sushant Singh Rajput‘s case, the media had raised questions over Nirmala‘s death. Was it a murder or suicide?
Media reports based on a few witnesses alleged that Nirmala, a Koderma (Jharkhand) based scribe, was the victim of honour killing and had been murdered by her parents.
Under public pressure, Nirmala‘s mother was arrested on charges of murder and sent to jail. However, forensic re-examination of the case by the AIIMS team concluded that Nirmala, who worked with a Delhi based business daily, had committed suicide. Nirmala‘s mother was finally acquitted.
Refusing to talk in detail over the Sushant Singh Rajput case, Gupta quoted to IANS, “It’s a very sensitive case. Public sentiments are with the deceased’s family. I will not speak on any issue related to the investigations.”
The sources in the forensic department revealed that CBI and forensic experts will first examine the lapses in the initial probe. Tampering of any evidence on the scene of crime or omission of any sign of foul play will be main areas to ascertain whether Mumbai Police or the panel of doctors conducting the post-mortem or any other suspect tried to suppress any tell-tale sign in Sushant‘s mysterious death.
A team of doctors, including two forensic surgeons, Shiv Kumar Kolle and Sachin Sonawane, which conducted an autopsy of the body on June 15 at the Cooper Hospital in Mumbai, had concluded that Sushant died of asphyxia due to hanging.
In their autopsy report, the panel of five doctors did not indicate any sign of foul play or observed any trait or feature which led to suspicion of murder.
However, once the videography and photos (if taken) of the autopsy are re-examined by the forensic team from AIIMS, the picture would be more clear, a source in AIIMs said.
Most probably the panel of AIIMS forensic experts and the panel of Cooper Hospital’s doctors, which conducted the post-mortem, will have a thorough discussion over the 7-page autopsy report before arriving at any conclusion on the cause of the actor’s death.
The Sources in the CBI said that once all documents, case dairies, and witnesses’ statements will studied. The agency will first look into if any outside hand was involved in the case.
An officer in the agency quoted, “The CBI is known for handling sensitive cases. We do not succumb to pressure. We are investigating the case with an open mind. Whether Sushant Singh was murdered or he committed suicide, only documentary and forensic evidence will prove.”
