Aarushi Talwar. Check. Sunanda Pushkar. Check. Sheena Bora. Check. Jessica Lal. Check. Bhanwari Devi. Check. Sushant Singh Rajput. A work in progress. For someone who has handled high-profile complex cases바카라”knottier the better바카라”Dr Sudhir Gupta, head of forensic medicine at AIIMS Delhi, is confident he and his four-member team will find what caused the actor바카라™s death. It바카라™s a challenge not many would be comfortable with. Rajput바카라™s death on June 14바카라”he was found hanging in his bedroom in Mumbai바카라”has been riveting the nation like a whodunit and the stakes are high.

Dr Gupta says the team will examine 바카라śall possible manner of death, including homicide바카라ť. They will corroborate their findings 바카라świth circumstantial legal evidence of the CBI바카라ť; examine if the actor was on any anti-depressant. They began their investigation on August 25, after receiving necessary medical papers from the CBI, including the autopsy and viscera reports. Work is tough, though. The scene was 바카라śbadly contaminated바카라ť and Dr Gupta also questions the missing time-stamp on the autopsy report. He will go to Mumbai and speak to people who conducted the autopsy and the investigators. His knowledge of DNA profiling has helped him crack complicated cases such as the 2011 Bhanwari Devi murder in which a minister in Rajasthan government was arrested. His team had painstakingly put together charred remains to reconstruct Sheena Bora바카라™s skeletal and facial profile. He also examined the Batla House shooting in Delhi and insisted on a simulation for the first time.
