A person who witnessed the autopsy of actor Sushant Singh Rajput has made a shocking claim suggesting that the actor did not commit suicide and was, in fact, murdered. The 34-year-old actor was found dead in his apartment in Bandra on June 14, 2020 and his death was ruled as a suicide after a probe.

Reportedly, the postmortem report stated that the cause of his death was asphyxia due to hanging, and called it a clear case of suicide. In a shocking turn of events, Shah who works at the hospital and witnessed the autopsy of the actor has now claimed that SSR did not commit suicide, he was, in fact, murdered.

“When Sushant Singh Rajput passed away, we had received five dead bodies in the Cooper Hospital for postmortem. Out of those five bodies, one was a VIP body. When we went to perform a post-mortem, we learnt he was Sushant and there were several marks on his body and two to three marks on his neck as well. The postmortem needed to be recorded but higher authorities were asked to only click pics of the body. Hence, we did that as per their order," Shah told

“When I saw Sushant’s body for the first time, I quickly informed my seniors that I feel it is not suicide but a murder. I even told them that we should work as per the rules. However, my seniors told me to click pictures as soon as possible and give the body to the cops. Hence, we performed the postmortem in the night only," Shah added.

For the unversed, Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging in his Mumbai apartment in June 2020. Tweets with hashtags ‘Justice For SSR’ flooded social media for months. His death was investigated by Mumbai Police before it was transferred to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
