Now, according to the Hindustan Times, lawyer Vikas Singh said that he was very worried about the AIIMS report.
In a tweet on social networking site Twitter, Vikas Singh said that he would request the CBI to form a new forensic team.
How can the AIIMS team give a final report in the absence of a body, even on the basis of a flawed autopsy performed by Cooper Hospital which does not even mention the time of the actor’s death.
Shashant Singh Rajput’s family lawyer termed the AIIMS report as inconclusive as the team did not actually examine the actor’s body but relied on photographs.
On Vikas Singh’s allegations, the CBI has issued a statement saying that the agency did not ignore any aspect.

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.
The lawyer said that a doctor from the AIIMS team had told me a long time ago that the pictures I had sent gave 200 per cent indication that Sashant had died of strangulation and that it was not suicide.
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.
