'Why I think Sushant Singh Rajput was murdered': Subramanian Swamy cites 24-point evidence

In his fight to demand justice for Sushant Singh Rajput, BJP MP Subramanian Swamy on Thursday took to Twitter and shared a picture stating evidence that shows why he thinks that the actor's death is not a suicide.

Swamy has been demanding a CBI probe in the suicide case of late Sushant Singh and has alleged that it was a murder. The picture shared by Swamy has 26 evidence points, out of which 24 support the theory of murder, while only two support the theory of suicide. The list also consists of a 'Remarks' column that reasons the possible scenarios for the findings. However, Dr Swamy has not revealed the source of the image that he has shared.

The list contains 'evidence' like: "SSR's nonexistence on social media, various marks on body, anti-depressant found in room, location & length of ligature mark, no froth from the mouth, no tongue protrusion, cloth hanging from fan, no small table, furniture found inside, body language of closest friends, no suicide notes, SSR changed his sim cards, etc. Among the aforementioned list, only two pieces of evidence that supported the suicide theory are anti-depressants found in room and SSR's non-existence on social media.

Earlier on Wednesday, speaking to Republic TV, Dr Swamy reiterated the need for a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into Sushant Singh Rajput's death after Rhea Chakraborty was booked on charges on abetting his suicide. The Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament stated the Mumbai Police had ‘dragged their feet’, and were ‘reluctant’ to get into the bottom of the case. Highlighting the social equations of the top officers with Bollywood, the BJP leader urged that the force steps back, to allow the CBI to take over.

'I will go to Court': Subramanian Swamy

Swamy had been at the forefront of demanding CBI investigation on Sushant's death. He had written to the Prime Minister seeking a CBI probe and had joined the movement for ‘justice’, even lighting a candle for Sushant.

Dr. Swamy had earlier said: "The way things are developing and things are coming out, it is inevitable that CBI inquiry will take place, in case it is not done, I will go to Court, I am just waiting for Mumbai Police to do its job." Swamy also took to Twitter and requested the people of the country to urge their respective MPs to write to PM in order to initiate a probe in the case.
