AIIMS panel to examine Sushant's autopsy report; will submit findings to CBI by Friday

The five-member medical board of forensic experts formed by the AIIMS to help the CBI probe into the death case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput will examine the late actor's autopsy report on Tuesday, sources said to Republic TV. Sushant's viscera report will also be examined by the forensic team and their findings will be shared with the CBI on Friday, sources added. Sushant's postmortem and other reports were shared with the AIIMS team on Monday evening.

'Will look into the possibility of murder'

"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 lead the team said last week. He said the team will evaluate the injury pattern on Rajput's body and 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," Dr Gupta said.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) approached the forensic department of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences on Friday for its medico-legal opinion in the case. Speaking to Republic TV on Saturday, Dr Sudhir Gupta expressed his shock in the manner in which the crime scene was "contaminated." Dr Sudhir Gupta observed that the crime scene was not kept intact and was "contaminated" thereby making it possibly "unsuitable for the examination of forensic evidence."
