Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister, Shweta Singh Kriti has said, that the attention is now focused on the findings of Central Bureau of India in the actor’s death case. 

This comes after AIIMS report concluded that he died by suicide.  

Many, including the Sushant’s family lawyer, had suggested that the actor could have been murdered. 

In a post on Instagram, Shweta wrote: “The test of faith is when you can stay strong and unshaken during the testing time….I urge my extended family to have faith in God and pray from all your heart….Pray that the truth comes out. #AllEyesOnCBI.” 

Sushant’s ex-girlfriend, Ankita Lokhande, reposted Shweta’s message with the same hashtag.

On Saturday, AIIMS medical board ruled out murder in the death of Sushant, terming it “a case of hanging and death by suicide”, the premier institute’s forensic chief Dr Sudhir Gupta said.

In its conclusive medico-legal opinion to the CBI, the six-member team dismissed the claims of “poisoning and strangling”, with Dr Gupta saying the panel did not find any trace of poison and drugs in the viscera.

“It is a case of hanging and death by suicide. We have submitted our conclusive report to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI),” Dr Gupta, who is also the chairman of the forensic medical board, said. — With PTI
