AIIMS report on Sushant death: Congress targets BJP, calls controversy political ploy to diminish Mumbai’s stature

Hours after a doctors’ panel from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi allegedly ruled out poisoning as the cause for actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, the Congress took on the BJP for casting aspersion on Mumbai Police’s investigation in the case.

“The AIIMS report leaves BJP’s face completely blackened. It has exposed its plot. People won’t forgive the BJP for the way the Mumbai Police was defamed in the case and Maharashtra was insulted,” said state Congress spokesman Sachin Sawant, who has been consistently alleging a BJP hand in the entire controversy.

Sawant also accused the BJP of using the Bihar Police, which had questioned the Mumbai Police’s investigation in the case, as a tool for playing politics. The party said that Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) were sent to Mumbai as part of a “political conspiracy” to malign the state in violation of the federal spirit of India.
