Sushant Singh Rajput's death was murder not suicide: mortuary staff

Sushant Singh Rajput's death was murder not suicide, says mortuary staff

LAHORE (Web Desk) – Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death was a mystery case just before a new development.

In a recent turn of events, the case has once again grabbed the attention of people when the mortuary staff, who was there when Sushant Singh Rajput’s body was brought in for post-mortem, said that it was not suicide but murder, as per a new report. Sushant was found dead in his Bandra home on June 14, 2020.

Two years after “PK” actor was found dead, a person who was present in the mortuary then has said that it was not suicide but murder. In a new interview, mortuary worker Roopkumar Shah, who was present when the actor’s body was brought in for post-mortem, has said that it “should have been videographed”. He reportedly also said that there were “beating marks” and “injury marks” on the body.

India’s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) continues to investigate the death of Sushant, which has been ruled as a suicide. However, no closure report has been filed in the matter so far by the agency.

In an interview, Roopkumar said, “After Sushant’s death, five bodies were brought for post-mortem. We were told that there is a VIP body in it, but it was not known earlier. When I saw Sushant’s body, I told the seniors that I think it is not suicide but murder. That’s why we should work in the same way. But I was told that you do your work and I will do mine. My job was to cut and sew the body, which I did. That entire post-mortem should have been videographed, but sir said he wanted to work on the photographs and hand over the body as soon as possible. That’s how we did the post-mortem at night."

He added, “When the clothes were removed, there were beating marks on the body. There were injury marks at two or three places on the neck. It seemed as if the hands and legs were broken due to beating… There were deep injury marks on the body. The video shoot was to happen, but whether it happened or not… Seniors were also asked to work on the photos only. So we worked on it.”

Reacting to it, Sushant’s lawyer Vikas Singh said in an interview, "I will not be able to comment on the same as the sisters have not told me about it. But I maintain that Sushant Singh Rajput’s death was not a simple suicide as there was conspiracy behind it. And only CBI will be able to unravel the conspiracy behind his death.”

Sushant made his Bollywood debut with “Kai Po Che” in 2013. He went on to feature in many films such as “Shuddh Desi Romance”, “PK”, “Detective Byomkesh Bakshy”, “M S Dhoni - The Untold Story”, “Raabta”, “Kedarnath”, “Sonchiriya”, “Chhichhore”, and “Drive”. The actor’s last film was director Mukesh Chhabra’s “Dil Bechara” opposite Sanjana Sanghi. It was released after his death. The film is an official remake of the Hollywood film “The Fault in Our Stars”.
