The actor was not killed, according to a report submitted to the Central Bureau of Investigation by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on the investigation into Shashant Singh Rajput’s suicide.
A few days ago, the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL), India’s central institution, also claimed that it had not found any evidence to prove that the actor was killed.
According to NDTV, sources said that doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi said in their report that actor Shashant Singh was not killed and that it was a case of suicide.

According to the report, AIIMS, in its opinion given to CBI, rejected the allegations of poisoning and strangulation by the actor’s family and his lawyer.
Sources said that the AIIMS panel has completed its probe after giving final medico-legal opinion in the case and closed the file while CBI is supporting the report with its investigation.
Sources said that the CBI is likely to continue its investigation into the cause of the suicide, an allegation that was mainly made by the Bihar police.
He also said that the AIIMS panel had agreed with the opinion of the Mumbai hospital which had conducted the autopsy of Shashant Singh.
The post-mortem report of Mumbai Hospital had stated that the cause of death was suffocation.
The sources also said that the evidence of the situation also shows that this is not a case of murder but of suicide.
It may be recalled that the family and friends of Shashant Singh Rajput had raised questions about the cause of his death.

Sources said that all aspects of the investigation are still being looked into. If the evidence comes to light, Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code will be added but nothing has come to light in the 45-day investigation.
The CIA has questioned 20 people in the 57-day investigation, and according to sources, the agency also conducted forensic examinations of the seized laptops, hard drives, digital cameras and two mobile phones.
According to CIA sources, all aspects of the case, including the murder, are being looked into, but so far no evidence has emerged that it was a murder.
“If we find evidence during the investigation, the murder clause should be included. The cause of the suicide and other charges included in the FIR are being investigated,” he said.
Last week, Vikas Singh, a lawyer for Shashant Singh’s family, claimed that he had been told by a doctor on the AIIMS panel that Shashant had been strangled.
He tweeted that he was disappointed with the CBI’s delay in turning the cause of Shashant’s suicide into murder.
“I was told a long time ago by a doctor from the AIIMS team that the pictures I sent gave a 200 per cent indication that Sashant had died of suffocation and not suicide,” the lawyer said.
Shashant Singh Rajput had apparently committed suicide on June 14 due to depression and an initial autopsy was conducted within the first three days, dismissing fears of his murder.
His detailed post-mortem report later revealed that the actor had apparently committed suicide by trapping himself and died of suffocation while no signs of torture were found on his body.
