The death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput is back in the news, with an employee of the hospital where his post-mortem took place alleging that the star had been killed and did not die by suicide. However, many forensic experts expressed ire at conspiracy theorists, stating that if the staff is so knowledgeable, of what use is a doctor and their degree? Over two years after Rajput’s death, a Cooper hospital mortuary room employee Roopkumar Shah alleged that there were several marks on the actor’s body and neck.

He claimed that after Rajput passed away, the hospital received five to six dead bodies for post-mortem. “One of them was a VIP’s body... There were several marks on his body and two to three marks on his neck as well. The post-mortem needed to be recorded but the higher authorities were asked to only click pictures of the body because we had to hand over the body. Hence, we followed the directions. Usually, we discuss every case with a doctor before beginning the procedure. I told the doctor that it seemed to be murder but the doctor told us to take pictures and conduct the PM in emergency and I followed the instruction,” Shah stated.
