Kangana reacts to 'AIIMS unofficial leak' in SSR case, demands answers from 'movie mafia'

Kangana Ranaut stood in defiance against the 'unofficial leak' of the AIIMS Forensic panel on Saturday which claimed that the probable cause of death of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput is suicide. She took to Twitter and claimed that extraordinary individuals like Sushant don't kill themselves and stated further that he was "bullied", "cast out" and "harassed" by the "movie mafia". While various media houses have reported that the report has 'conclusively' ruled out murder, no official statement has come in from AIIMS. 

The Manikarnika actor also questioned the latest update by AIIMS and demanded answers about other aspects, including professional pressure and power politics in the film industry. Kangana had been the only high-profile Bollywood star until recently to have raised her voice in support of the late actor alleging that he could not have committed suicide. She cited several reasons, including Bollywood's lobbyism and favouritism that could've allegedly caused mental trauma to Sushant which resulted in his tragic end.

All of these reports were allegedly based on leaks from forensic expert Dr. Sudhir Gupta to the media. However, there is no official statement that came in from AIIMS. Also, the CBI had stated that all conclusive findings submitted in the AIIMS report will be taken as opinions and not evidence in their future course of action in Sushant's death case.
