It has been more than a year superstar Sridevi breathed her last. The actress died on February 24, 2018, due to accidental drowning in a bathtub in Dubai. Her death left her fans and an entire nation in deep shock.

Now more than a year after Sridevi’s demise, a report has surfaced online that is raising shocking allegations regarding the late actress' death.

A new claim by Kerala Director General of Police (Prisons) Rishiraj Singh alleged that the actress' death was not an accident but a murder. He reportedly claimed that his late friend Dr Umadathan, who conducted Sridevi’s autopsy, stated several circumstantial evidences to prove the same. Singh, in a column for the newspaper Kerala Kaumudi, wrote that Sridevi's death 'might not have been due to drowning'.

"My friend and the late forensic expert Dr Umadathan had told me long back that Sridevi's death might have been a murder and not an accidental death. This he told me when I asked him about Sridevi's death, out of curiosity," wrote Singh in a column for the newspaper Kerala Kaumudi.

"He also pointed out certain facts to back his claims. According to him, a person will never drown in one-foot deep water, however much he drinks. He will drown only if somebody holds his both legs and sinks his head into the water," wrote the IPS officer. These facts have however been analysed ad nauseam and there's no way to be certain about them.

Sridevi had flown to Dubai to attend her nephew Mohit Marwah's wedding and was found dead in the bathtub of her hotel room in Dubai last year.
