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

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

According to him, the body had injury marks and the limbs had been beaten to the point of breakage.
27 Dec, 2022

New developments in the Sushant Singh Rajput case suggest that his death is not as simply conclusive as it seemed. It was ruled as a suicide but there are people ready to challenge that even after two years. A mortuary worker said the autopsy revealed evidence of inflicted violence and the bodily state matched that of a murder case. The Bollywood actor’s lawyer reasserted that it was not a “simple suicide” and his sister Shweta Singh Kirti has demanded the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigate fairly.

In an interview with TV9 Marathi, Roopkumar Shah, who was present when Sushant’s body was brought in for postmortem, said, “After Sushant’s death, five bodies were brought for postmortem. 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 postmortem 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 postmortem at night.

“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,” he added, according to Hindustan Times.

Sushant’s lawyer Vikas Singh reacted to the reports and told Etimes that though he does not have any direct information about the injuries on the actor’s body as claimed by the alleged eyewitness, he knows something bigger was at play. “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 a conspiracy behind it. And only the CBI will be able to unravel the conspiracy behind his death.”

Shweta took to Instagram and re-shared a photo of Sushant with a headline talking about the mortuary worker’s account. “If there is an ounce of truth to this evidence, we urge [the] CBI to really look into it diligently. We have always believed that you guys will do a fair investigation and let us know the truth. Our heart aches to find no closure as yet,” she added. The late actor’s sister has been very active on social media in her fight for justice for his death.

Sushant was found dead in his apartment in Mumbai. While there was no note, the Mumbai Police ruled it a suicide. The 34-year-old’s death is being investigated by the CBI. His girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty was arrested in 2020 and 2021 for purchasing and financing narcotics for her late boyfriend. Though the murder angle was ruled out, no closure report has been filed so far by the agency.

Bollywood is a sick place full of fake stars made by nepotism. I urge my Pakistani friends to boycott their films. This is not a place for art but only for masala stories with naach gana.

Thanks to the Khan mafia who directly and indirectly threaten producers from engaging up and talented youngsters. Another life lost due to this mafia. Recently Vivek Oberai also complained about this.

@Multani - A small detail being missed is - this worker has been doing post mortems for 28 yrs and in such long time has done post mortems of 50000 bodies. He would understand beating marks on body, fractures.. so asked the doctors to follow protocols being followed in murder cases given prima facie evidence.

The fact that it was covered up and expedited is reason enough to suspect foul play. Especially when it involved a political scion and the accident/murder of Sushant's young and pretty manager just a few days back.

There were so many questions that remained unanswered which gave a very strong suspicion that he was murdered. The main thing was when his body was taken down from fan without calling the police. Secondly none of the security cameras were functional on that day.
