Mumbai: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday revealed that the agency is still probing into the death case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput and 'all aspects are being looked meticulously'.

"CBI investigation related to the death of Sushant Singh Rajput is still continuing and all the aspects are being looked meticulously," said a spokesperson of the agency.

CBI's official statement comes two days after receiving a report from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) that "hinted" that the death of Rajput was suicide and not murder.

The AIIMS forensic panel under Dr. Sudhir Gupta was formed at the request of the CBI in August to assist in giving medico-legal opinion in connection with the death of the late actor.

Meanwhile, Sushant family's lawyer Vikas Singh had earlier expressed concerns over the AIIMS report. SSR's sister Shweta Singh Kirti has also reacted sharply to what she claimed was a U-Turn on the part of the medical institute.

"Highly perturbed with the AIIMS report. Going to request the CBI Director to constitute a fresh forensic team. How could AIIMS team give a conclusive report in the absence of the body, that too on such shoddy post-mortem done by Cooper Hospital wherein time of death also not mentioned?" Singh tweeted.

Sushant, 34, was found dead at his Bandra home on June 14, sparking off a huge political furore and triggering the biggest probe into the alleged Bollywood-drugs nexus, which led to the arrest of 20 persons, including actor Rhea Chakraborty.
