In a recent development, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences’ (AIIMS) Forensic Department ruled out murder in the case and Indians are now reminding Kangana about her promise, reported CNN-News18.

Following Sushant’s death, Kangana had released a couple of videos on social media, in which she accused several members of the film industry of propagating nepotism and pushing the actor to suicide.

In those videos, she had talked about the pressure and rejection Sushant was facing from Bollywood and the media. She had criticised journalists for writing blind items on celebrities without taking names.

Kangana Ranaut, in those videos, had also questioned whether Sushant’s death was a “suicide or a planned murder”. She went on to say that if she was not able prove the claims she had made, she’ll return the honour bestowed upon her by the Indian government.

Now, following a series of allegations, accusations, arrests and a detailed probe, the forensic report by AIIMS has ruled out murder theories in the actor’s death case. The report called it a case of suicide in the department’s “conclusive medico-legal” opinion to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), dismissing the theories of poisoning and strangling.

The CBI may continue on the abetment of suicide line of probe, sources told CNN-News18.

The report also questioned the absence of the timing of death in the autopsy report and pointed towards the dimly-lit post mortem room at Cooper Hospital. The report also ruled out the poisoning angle in the death of the late actor.

The report was met with mixed reactions. #KanganaAwardWapasKar has also been the top trend on Twitter for the last couple of days with netizens asking Kangana to “walk the talk” and return her award as promised for she had been unable to prove what she had initially claimed.
