Massive Development: Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case to be Taken over by CBI? Bihar CM makes Crucial Announcement- Details

In a big development in Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar too has approved for a CBI probe after the late actor’s family had placed request for the same. Bihar CM told Republic TV that he has instructed the Bihar DGP to initiate recommendations for a CBI Probe. 

"We have already said they have lodged FIR. Its duty of Bihar police to investigate on that basis. If they wish to transfer to CBI, it will be done immediately. I have spoken to the DGP. From here recommendation is being given for a CBI probe. We have Sushant's family's consent. It will be done today itself. Proceedings will be started,” the CM told media. 

He also slammed Mumbai Police and confirmed that they did not cooperate with Bihar Police. "Our IPS officer was quarantined. This sort of treatment to our officers not acceptable. This is unacceptable behavior. Is this the treatment given to one going for investigation?" 

Earlier, Bihar SP Vinay Tiwari who arrived at Mumbai a day ago to take over the case was quarantined by BMC citing that they will have to act in accordance with the state government’s guidelines for domestic arrivals. However, four officers who arrived there a week ago haven’t been quarantined. 

"We want CBI probe in this matter. Bihar Police came into action after FIR was lodged. This is natural for us to probe. We will recommend the probe for CBI. It will be better in a way. There was nothing significant happening there. Cooperation was expected from there which was not given. What happened with him, it's very very unfortunate," he added.

An unprecedented turn of events unfolded when the actor’s father KK Singh lodged a complaint against Rhea Chakraborty and others. Actress Rhea Chakraborty has urged the Supreme Court to transfer the case to Mumbai.

The actor was found dead in his Bandra residence on June 14.
