All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) forensic head Dr. Sudhir Gupta on Wednesday said that he had not succumbed to any pressure while filing the autopsy report of Sunanda Pushkar, the wife of former union minister and Congress leader Shashi Tharoor.
"I have done my job, which has been assigned by the government and the police, honestly and ethically. I don't feel a person, who is doing his job honestly, will be victimised. I have not succumbed to any pressure," Dr. Gupta said.
Meanwhile, AIIMS, in a statement, maintained that no extraneous pressure was ever put on Dr. Gupta with regard to his medical opinion and dismissed the allegations levelled by him against the institute as 'baseless and denied'.
Dr. Gupta had earlier been at the centre of a controversy after he had claimed that the then-UPA regime had put pressure on him to manipulate Sunanda's post mortem report.
