Senior BJP member Subramanian Swamy has on Thursday written to Parliamentary Standing Committee On 
Health and Family Welfare seeking answers to queries after selective AIIMS report leak earlier this week. He has raised questions to be addressed in Standing Committee Meeting regarding AIIMs team forensic examination of Bollywood actor Sushant Shing Rajput's death.

Through his letter, Swamy has questioned legitimacy of Dr. Sudhir Gupta, head of AIIMS Forensic panel, in giving ufficial information to media. He has also asked if seemingly conclusive findings by AIIMS panel were based on post-mortem on deceased actor's body and highlighted that since body has been cremated, reports had merely been an opinion based on post-mortem conducted by Mumbai's Cooper Hospital.

He also asked if AIIMS forensic team took tampered evidence, hurried and truncated post-mortem and n-sealing of crime scene into account before coming to conclusion that actor had died by suicide.
