Subramanian Swamy Terms Sridevi’s Accidental Drowning As ‘Murder’
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) pioneer and Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday said that veteran artist Sridevi was killed, even as the scientific report precludes any sort of unfairness in her death.
“Cinema actresses aur Dawood ke jo rishte hain, naajayaz rishte hain us par hamein thoda dhyaan dena padega (We should be wary of the illicit relationship between cinema actors and Dawood Ibrahim),” Swamy told ANI while hinting at the underworld’s involvement in her murder.
"It doesn't appear to me the facts that have come out in the media are consistent. She never drank hard liquor so how did it enter her system? Was she forcibly fed? What happened to the CCTV, we have not heard a word about that," Swamy told news agency ANI, and added, "It suddenly appears in the media that she died of heart failure as if it's pre-planned." Dubai-based Gulf News said in a report the actor was under the influence of alcohol. However, this could not be independently confirmed.
Swamy was also unable to digest the fact that how could one die by drowning in a bathtub.
On Monday, Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh had dismissed speculations that Sridevi was intoxicated at the wedding ceremony. "In wedding ceremonies, as far as I know, Sridevi ji, she did not consume hard liquor. She used to have wine sometimes like me and like many others in public life," he had said.
The secret around the demise of the Indian on-screen character has overwhelmed the nation since the forensic report expressed that she died of accidental drowning and falling in a bath brimming with water, as opposed to introductory reports that the reason for her passing was heart failure.
The Dubai Police has recorded the version of Bollywood filmmaker Boney Kapoor, the husband of veteran performer Sridevi. Gulf News cites that Boney was called to the Bur Dubai police headquarters for routine questioning. The police took his statement after which he was permitted to come back to his hotel.
Indian diplomatic authorities revealed to Gulf News they were attempting their best to get all endorsements with the goal that the body was repatriated. Be that as it may, they didn't give a distinct time to the procedure. India's Ambassador to the UAE Navdeep Singh Suri in a prior meeting with the Indian media had said that they had got clearance from Dubai police to repatriate the 54-year-old performer's mortal remains. Nonetheless, a political source said that with the new development of the case being alluded to the Public Prosecution, the repatriation issue is currently open-ended.
