Sushant Death Case: Lapses by Mumbai FSL exposed, no drug test on viscera say sources

In the course of the investigation into Sushant Singh Rajput's death, top sources have alleged that a huge lapse on part of the Mumbai Police's forensic lab report has come up. Top sources have stated that the AIIMS report on Rajput's post-mortem and viscera reports reveals that the Mumbai Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) did not conduct a drug test on Sushant's viscera. Sources have claimed that the Mumbai FSL did not investigate or look into whether Sushant was administered drugs. On July 1, the late actor's viscera report came out as negative ruling out the possibility of any suspicious chemicals or toxins. The report had stated his cause of death as asphyxia due to hanging. The reports had also ruled out the possibility of any struggle and revealed that nothing was found from under his nails too. Sources have alleged that the issues have now been raised by AIIMS doctors, led by Dr. Sudhir Gupta, with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the report they have submitted on Monday. Sources say CBI will now look into the role of Mumbai FSL and these possible lapses.

The CBI has maintained that "no angles have been ruled out" and has reassured through a statement on Monday that the investigation is being conducted in a professional manner.

As per sources, the second leg of the CBI investigation is likely to commence later this week after taking into consideration the conclusive findings of the AIIMS report. The CBI is expected to map out their future plan of action within this week.
