On Sridevi death, Subramanian Swamy brings up Dawood Ibrahim. Twitter rips him apart
Subramanian Swamy was relentlessly trolled for his comments about Sridevi's demise.
Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy yet again found himself on the receiving end of jibes on social media after he raised Dawood Ibrahim's name in connection with Sridevi's death.
The circumstances surrounding Sridevi's death are still shrouded in mystery. While it was initially reported that she passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest, the death certificate revealed that accidental drowning was the cause of death.
Cardiac arrest has not been ruled out yet; it is possible that Sridevi drowned in the bathtub after suffering a cardiac arrest. However, it is being said that the autopsy revealed traces of alcohol in her body and Gulf News claims that she was inebriated when she lost her balance, fell into the bathtub and drowned. There is no official confirmation on either theory. It will be clear only once details of the autopsy report are out.
As the investigation is underway, Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy told ANI, "Let's wait for prosecution to pronounce it. Facts in media doesn'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. (sic)"

He also questioned the 'illegitimate relationships' between actresses and absconding underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. "Cinema actresses aur Dawood ke jo rishte hain, naajayaz rishte hain us par hamein thoda dhyaan dena padega," Swamy said.

The BJP leader's statements are getting him massively trolled on Twitter. From "serial character assassin" to "vile, sick creature" to "chief conspiracy theorist of India", Twitteratti is calling him all kinds of names and slamming him for 'not leaving even the dead in his attention seeking'. Take a look at some of their tweets.
Last evening, politician Amar Singh was also attacked on Twitter for his views on Sridevi's 'drinking habits'.
Meanwhile, Sridevi's mortal remains are expected to be repatriated today, although there is neither a definite time given nor an official confirmation of the same.
The Dubai Police has transferred the case to Dubai Public Prosecution, who are currently investigating the events leading up to and following Sridevi's death. This is a routine procedure, and any death occurring outside a hospital, in the United Arab Emirates, must be investigated thoroughly even if it is a natural death.
