Mumbai: Actor Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde on Saturday said that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) must constitute a new Medical Board to ensure fair investigation into the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Rajput, 34, was found dead in his house in Bandra, on June 14.

“The disclosure of a 200% percent conclusion by an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) doctor in the team headed by Dr Sudhir Gupta in the Sushant Singh Rajput case, on the basis of photographs, is a dangerous trend,” said Maneshinde in a statement.

“To keep the investigations impartial and free from inference, the CBI must constitute a new Medical Board. The agencies are being pressured to reach a predetermined result for obvious reasons on the eve of Bihar Elections,” he stated.

“We have seen the Voluntary retirement from service (VRS) of DG Gupteshwar Pandey unfolding a few days back. There should not be a repetition of such steps,” said Maneshinde in a response to a social media post by Sushant Singh Rajput’s family lawyer Vikas Singh.

Singh on Friday in a tweet had posted, “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 percent that it’s death by strangulation and not suicide.”
