Sridevi's mortal remains may be flown to India today
Dubai/New Delhi, Feb 27 (IBNS): Bollywood beauty Sridevi's body might be brought back to India from Dubai on Tuesday, media reports said.
The clearance for repatriation of body has been delayed, said reports.
As fans and celebrities await legendary actress Sridevi's mortal remains to return to India, the Dubai Police on Monday recorded her husband Boney Kapoor's statement in connection with the case.
A new twist was added to Sridevi's death case with the forensic test revealing that the silver screen goddess expired as a result of 'accidental drowning' in her hotel room's bathtub.
In fact some media reports also claimed that traces of alcohol have been found in her blood in the autopsy report.
According to Khaleej Times, the Dubai police is conducting an ongoing probe at the place of death, and the room at Jumeirah Emirates Towers, in which she was staying, has been sealed.
While the previous media reports claimed that Sridevi was in a bathtub inside the hotel bathroom when she suffered a cardiac arrest, the autopsy report on Monday changed the dimension of the case.
According to reports, the Dubai Police has questioned not only Boney Kapoor but the hotel staff, and others present at the time of death.
Bonny Kapoor, who was incidentally present in the same room, forced his entry to the bathroom after getting no response from his wife for sometime.
After Kapoor failed to revive Sridevi, the actress was taken to a hospital where she was declared brought dead.
Ahead of her sudden death, Sridevi was in Dubai to attend the wedding of her nephew Mohit Marwah.
Boney Kapoor, who was also with her, returned back to Dubai only to surprise Sridevi on the day she had died.
Following the surfacing of the news of Sridevi's death, the entire country had mourned since Saturday night.
From PM Modi to Bollywood stars, everyone took to social media and other platforms to offer condolences.
