During a Delhi court hearing, judges probed whether a fall from the 14th floor could have caused only dental injuries in the death of Sushant Singh Rajput's former manager.
The Delhi Sessions Court heard arguments on the death of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's former manager, focusing on the circumstances of a reported fall from the 14th floor of a building. The presiding judge queried the prosecution's claim that the victim survived the impact with only broken teeth, a detail that could influence the direction of the investigation.
Prosecutors reiterated that the autopsy report indicated multiple internal injuries, contradicting the notion of a superficial injury limited to the teeth. They argued that the nature of the fall, height involved, and forensic findings point to a more serious trauma than initially suggested.
Defense counsel maintained that the evidence presented so far is inconclusive and called for a thorough re‑examination of the forensic analysis. The court scheduled the next hearing for next week to consider additional expert testimony.
The case, which has attracted widespread media attention across India, remains under active investigation, with authorities examining whether the fall was accidental, self‑inflicted, or the result of foul play.
No further details were disclosed pending the continuation of the trial, and the court urged all parties to cooperate fully with the ongoing forensic inquiry.
