Actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death case seems to be rising from the grave after two years as a staff member of the mortuary unit of Cooper Hospital in Mumbai claimed that the actor's death did not appear to be a suicide.

Speaking to ANI, Roopkumar Shah, mortuary servant at Cooper Hospital, Mumbai, said: "When I saw Sushant Singh Rajput's body, it did not appear to be a case of suicide. Injury marks were there on his body. I have over 28 years of experience. I went to my senior, but he said we would discuss it later.

"I had over 28 years of experience and when I observed Sushant's body, there was no mark that is generally found in hanging cases. There were fracture marks on his body. What to write in the postmortem report is the doctor's job. He (the actor) should get justice. Everyone can tell by looking at the picture of Sushant Singh Rajput that he was murdered. If the investigating agency calls me, I will also tell them," he added.

Indian Hindi film actor Sushant Singh Rajput (34) was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020, which created a lot of controversies.

His postmortem report stated the cause of death was asphyxia. The postmortem was conducted at Mumbai's Cooper Hospital.

The Central Bureau of Investigation was brought to investigate the actor's death from various angles.

After dropping out of engineering college, Sushant started his career as a theatre artiste before entering TV serials in 2008 and ultimately becoming a full-fledged Bollywood star.
