Two years after Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead under mysterious circumstances at his apartment, but the mystery around his alleged suicide has not subsided. While investigation termed the death as ‘suicide’, fans and family had been claiming foul play and demanded that justice be served.
Now, a Cooper Hospital employee – who was a part of the team that conducted the post-mortem in the high-profile case – claimed that the actor did not commit suicide but was murdered.

He added, “That entire post-mortem should have been videographed but sir said he wanted to work on the photographs and hand over the body as soon as possible.
