Investigating Agencies Are Being Pressurised In Sushant Case: Rhea’s Lawyer

Mumbai: Prime accused Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde has alleged that the investigating agencies are being pressurised to submit a pre-determined result in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, ahead of the Bihar elections.

According to a report in Hindustan Times, advocate Maneshinde has also asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to set up a new medical board for impartial investigation in the case.

“The disclosure of a 200% conclusion by an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) doctor on the forensic team headed by Dr Sudhir Gupta in Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case, on the basis of photographs, is a dangerous trend. To keep the investigations impartial and free from inference, the CBI must constitute a new medical board. The agencies are being pressurised to reach a pre-determined result for obvious reasons in view of upcoming Bihar elections. We have seen the VRS of DG (Gupteshwar) Pandey unfolding a few days back. There should not be a repetition of such steps,” Maneshinde was quoted as saying.

Maneshinde’s demand for a new medical board came after Sushant’s family lawyer Vikas Singh expressed his frustration over delay in the investigation report.

Singh had also claimed that an AIIMS doctor told him it was 200% death by strangulation.

“Getting frustrated by the delay in CBI taking a decision to convert abetment to suicide to murder of SSR. The doctor who is part of AIIMS team had told me long back that the photos sent by me indicated 200% that it’s death by strangulation and not suicide,” Vikas Singh had tweeted.
