Congress says BJP used SSR’s case to discredit the state government

On Satursay, the ruling party in Maharahstra, Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) allies, slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), saying its “conspiracy to defame the Maharashtra government”, which has been exposed in the AIIMS forensic report into actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. According to sources, the forensic department of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, has hinted in its report to the CBI that the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was suicide and not murder.

Thestate Congress general secretary and spokesperson Sachin Sawant said, “The Mumbai Police probe was in the right direction. Even the Supreme Court was satisfied with the investigations, and now the AIIMS’ report has pointed at suicide”.

Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh demanded a report of the CBI inquiry in the death case of the actor, which has been going on from so long. “We will not comment till anything comes to us. However, people must know whether it was a suicide or murder,” Deshmukh said.

Challenging that the BJP stands exposed on the issue, Sawant wants the MVA to set up a special investigation team (SIT) and expose the masterminds behind this conspiracy, which aimed to damage the reputation of the MVA government.

“A big plot was hatched to use the Sushant case in the Bihar Assembly elections and hide the failures of the BJP government in the Centre. Even the then DGP of Bihar Police, Gupteshwar Pandey, played a key role in the conspiracy. Thousands of fake social media accounts were opened overnight to defame the Maharashtra government and Mumbai Police,” Sawant said.

 “It is surprising how until yesterday, there were wild rumours that the CBI would register a murder case under IPC Section 302, and it was spread by certain sections of the media and the BJP’s IT cell. But today the situation has changed,” Sawant pointed out.
