The AIIMS medical board has termed it “a case of hanging and death by suicide”.
AIIMS forensic chief Sudhir Gupta said on Saturday: “We have submitted our conclusive report to the CBI and there are no injuries indicating struggle or scuffle. The body has marks of hanging. The presence of any sedative material was not detected by AIIMS toxicology lab. The complete examination of the ligature mark over the neck was consistent with hanging.”

A team of forensic doctors looked into the case and they have dismissed the claims of “poisoning and strangling”. Dr. Gupta refused to divulge any further details stating the case is sub judice.
