The All India Institute of Medical Sciences' (AIIMS) Forensic Medical Board, which was looking into the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has ruled out the possibility of murder in its report.
According to news agency ANI, Dr Sudhir Gupta, AIIMS Forensic Head, said, "We have concluded our conclusive report. It is a case of hanging and death by suicide."
"There were no injuries over the body other than hanging. There were no marks of struggle/ scuffle in the body and clothes of the deceased.
"The presence of any seductive material was not detected by Bombay FSL and AIIMS toxicology lab. The complete examination of ligature mark over the neck was consistent with hanging," Dr Gupta added.
According to ANI, the board, which comprises of 7 doctors, has discussed its findings with the Central Bureau of Investigation, that is investing the case. However, the medical board has refused to provide the details as the case it is still sub-judice.
Earlier in the day, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had said that the CBI should soon make public its inquiry report into Rajput's death.

"We will give a statement as and when we receive any official information about it," he added.
"We want that the CBI inquiry report into the case should soon come before public so that they get to know whether it was a suicide or murder," Deshmukh said.
