Sushant case: CBI tightlipped on AIIMS' 'conclusive findings'; forensic in 'opinion' form

Republic TV has accessed details of the All India Institute Of Medical Science (AIIMS) report on actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death which suggests that no traces of organic poisoning was found in the actor's body. In addition, no clean chit has been given to the stakeholders in the case including Mumbai Police and Mumbai's Cooper Hospital where the late actor's post-mortem was conducted, and no angle in his death has been ruled out, including the murder angle which is being alleged backed on evidence and testimonies contrary to the purported 'suicide theory'. As per sources, these conclusive findings by the medical body are not contrary to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) reports after their recently concluded first leg of investigation in the case.
