As the wait for repatriation of Sridevi's body gets longer, Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has raised questions over the circumstances of actor's death in Dubai.
Subramanian Swamy, said, "Let's wait for the prosecution to pronounce it. Facts in media don't appear to be consistent. She never drank hard liquor, how did it enter her system? What happened to CCTV? Doctors suddenly appeared before media and said she died of heart failure."
Swamy said, "We need throw light on the illicit relationship between cinema actresses and Dawood Ibrahim" (Cinema actresses aur Dawood ke jo rishte hain, naajayaz rishte hain us par hamein thoda dhyaan dena padega).
