Mumbai/Bhubaneswar: At a time when India is mourning the death of Sridevi, Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has once again brought in controversy by raising the name of absconding underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in connection with the actress’ death.

The MP has found himself on the receiving end after making such comment on social media with Twitteratti tearing him apart.

Swamy has raised doubts over the circumstances surrounding Sridevi's death.

Swamy told ANI, "Let's wait for 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. (sic)"

The MP also questioned the relationships between actresses and Dawood. "Cinema actresses aur Dawood ke jo rishte hain, naajayaz rishte hain us par hamein thoda dhyaan dena padega," he said.

However, this has not gone well with the Twitteratti and the MP was slammed for trying to seek attention from dead.

Politician Amar Singh also urged Swamy to stop making such comments.

Meanwhile, Sridevi's mortal remains has reached Dubai airport and is expected to be repatriated today.
