OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji's mother shares video of poor handling of evidence by SFPD
Following the release of the final autopsy report in February, which concluded that 26-year-old OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji died by suicide in his San Francisco apartment on November 26 last year, his family has expressed disbelief in the findings, citing numerous inconsistencies. In a recent development, Suchir's mother, Poornima Ramarao, has shared a video capturing a San Francisco Police Department officer handling evidence at the scene without wearing gloves.
Ramarao took to social media, specifically X (formerly known as Twitter), to highlight the concerning actions of the officer. She stated, "This is the video of SFPD touching the evidence without gloves. They contaminated the crime scene instead of collecting fingerprints, DNA, and footprints." Ramarao questioned whether the mishandling of evidence was intentional, raising the possibility of foul play or negligence on the part of the authorities.
Allegations of Mishandling Evidence
The 29-second video shared by Ramarao reveals the officer interacting with evidence and taking notes inside Balaji's apartment, all without the necessary protective gear. The footage has sparked outrage and further fueled suspicions surrounding the handling of the case.
Additionally, Ramarao emphasized that the mishandling of evidence constitutes a violation of constitutional rights, further underscoring the gravity of the situation.
In another social media post, Ramarao expressed her grief and disbelief over the tragic loss of her son. She shared a photo of Suchir and described him as a "happy, genius, and handsome young man," alleging that he was targeted for his advocacy for humanity. Ramarao accused the San Francisco Police Department and OCME of colluding to conceal the true circumstances of Suchir's death, asserting that his constitutional rights were disregarded in the process.
Call for Justice
A dedicated account seeking justice for Suchir Balaji joined the conversation, condemning the mishandling of evidence as a scandal and a blatant violation of crime scene protocols. The account questioned the integrity of the investigation in light of such oversights, calling for accountability and adherence to forensic principles.
The community outcry extended to social media users demanding transparency and accountability in the case. Questions were raised about the lack of investigation, the need to protect whistleblowers, and the conspicuous absence of public figures, including Elon Musk, in addressing the matter.
Despite the challenges and obstacles faced by Suchir Balaji's family in seeking the truth, their unwavering determination and pursuit of justice serve as a testament to their resilience and commitment to honoring his memory.
As the search for answers continues, the call for justice for Suchir Balaji reverberates across social media platforms, urging authorities to uphold the principles of transparency, accountability, and justice.
Amidst the ongoing developments surrounding the case, the need for a thorough and impartial investigation remains paramount to uncovering the truth behind the tragic demise of such a promising individual.
