We stand vindicated Mumbai top cop on AIIMS report in Sushant case

    Mumbai, Oct 3 (PTI) The Mumbai police's probe stands
vindicated with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences
(AIIMS) ruling out murder in the actor Sushant Singh Rajput
case, city police commissioner Param Bir Singh said on
Saturday.
    Some people with "vested interests" targeted Mumbai
police without knowing anything about the investigation, he
told PTI.
    The AIIMS medical board on Saturday stated that Rajput
died by suicide and it was not a murder.
    Reacting to the news, Singh said the city police's
probe was professional, and doctors at the Cooper Hospital in
the city who performed autopsy had also done their job
thoroughly.
    "We all stand vindicated by these findings of AIIMS,"
the police commissioner said.
    The Supreme Court had upheld transfer of the FIR
lodged by Bihar police in the Rajput case and not the Mumbai
police's investigation, Singh said.
    "The court didn't find any fault with our
investigation," he said.
    Singh further said that the city police had submitted
investigation report to the apex court in a sealed cover and
it was seen by only six persons -- the investigating officer,
senior police inspector, deputy commissioner of police,
commissioner of police, advocate general of the state and the
judge.
    "Without knowing anything about our investigation
and without having seen our report some vested interests
criticized our investigation," he said.
    Rajput (34) was found hanging at his flat in Mumbai on
June 14. A section of media had hinted that it could be a
murder.
    The CBI had taken over the probe from Bihar Police
into the alleged abetment to suicide case filed by the actor's
father K K Singh in Patna against Rajput's girlfriend Rhea
Chakraborty and her family. PTI DC
