Please don't trust prejudiced TV channels.
Their reporters have no sources. Nobody watches them.
Most sources confirm that AIIMS Board has concluded it's a Homicide.
Let's wait for the CBI.
Today the CBI Director is going to decide whether to start a murder investigation, or not. https://twitter.com/Soumyadipta/status/1310071476465201152
AIIMS hasn't said anything.
CBI hasn't said anything.
Some source has said something.
But the Lutyens journalists (the usual suspects) are celebrating as if they have won a war.
If this is true then this is not the first time that AIIMS has botched up an going investigation.
I usually write threads myself but here I want to quote another thread by @sangacious which says how Dr. Sudhir Gupta of AIIMS had given contrary opinions to high profile cases in the past too. Like the Sunanda Pushkar case & the Batla House Encounter case https://twitter.com/sangacious/status/1310119134223462400?s=19
The AIIMS panel on September 29, in a press release, clearly said that they don't want to disclose their medical report to the media and won't confirm any speculation.
It's tragic that even after this public declaration, selective leaks are happening. https://twitter.com/ANI/status/1310976198457978881?s=20
The same tradition of hogging media limelight by giving contrarion statements continue.
He comes on record saying "suicide" even before CBI begins their second leg of probe.
I remember somebody else also saying Satyamev Jayate in a video statement earlier. https://twitter.com/rahulkanwal/status/1312269185280405505?s=19
Here's an open letter from a media channel to Dr. Sudhir Gupta as he was preparing to submit his report. He was reminded of the consequences of saying Sunanda Pushkar was poisoned.
Offered with no other comment. https://www.ndtv.com/opinion/open-letter-to-aiims-dr-gupta-on-ssr-case-nalini-singh-2295328
Arnab's Republic TV has pushed all other English channels to one corner, capturing more than 75% market share as per latest BARC report.
I guess the SSR case has become a beating stick for other channels to prove Republic wrong.
The SSR case is in the middle of a TRP war now
The AIIMS report is a Medico-legal opinion. This will affect the case and the ongoing investigation.
But they are not the final authority on the matter.
The final authority is CBI, who were rumoured to start a murder case today.
That is why the timing of this news leak is suspect
Coming on record and speaking to TV channels on a day when CBI was supposed to declare their next course of action, reeks of unprofessionalism.
If CBI announces murder then they will be in direct conflict with Dr. Gupta's report.
This is tragic and unwarranted.
