We have spoken to sources in Dubai and Mumbai and learnt
that the Dubai Police is questioning Sridevi’s husband, Boney Kapoor as we
speak.
Meanwhile, the Dubai Police has transferred the case to
Public Prosecution, which will carry out regular legal procedure before issuing
an NOC to the Forensics Lab at Rashid Hospital, where Sridevi’s remains are
kept at the morgue. It is believed that the Public Prosecutor has still not ruled out
foul play.
The embalming of Sridevi’s remains will begin once the
Public Prosecution issues the NOC. Embalming is a lengthy process, which takes
about 4 hours.

This legal and medical procedure is likely to take
place tomorrow morning, once the public offices open.
Public offices in Dubai close down at 3pm (which
is 4:30pm IST). Hence, its closure for the day and Sridevi's mortal remains are
not expected to reach Mumbai tonight.
Reportedly the star’s death was caused due to drowning in
her room apartment 2201 Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel after losing
consciousness. The case has been referred to the Dubai public prosecution for
further investigation.
