“The report will be conclusive,” Dr Gupta said earlier.

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14.

In the parallel drug case related to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, the Bombay high court on Friday directed the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) to file replies to bail applications filed by three arrested accused — Rajput’s domestic staff, Samuel Miranda and Dipesh Sawant, along with alleged drug peddler Abdel Basit Parihar.
