Further Developments in the Ongoing Case 

In the latest development of the Sushant Singh Rajput's death case, the AIIMS has submitted a report to the CBI ruling out murder as the cause of the death. The report confirms that the death was caused by suicide and not murder. The report also states there are no scuffle marks or marks of struggle on the body. The reports also dismissed allegations of death by poisoning and strangling. This report might lead to the case taking a sharp turn. While the drug probe related to the case continues to be investigated, the cause of death continues to rattle the audiences who await a conclusive report on the cause of the death.
