Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case: The Central has accepted the Bihar Govt.'s request recommending a CBI enquiry

A day after Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government recommended a CBI inquiry into the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the Centre has accepted its request to transfer the case from Mumbai Police to the central probe agency.

Centre has informed SC that Bihar government's recommendation for CBI probe into death case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput has been accepted.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta states before Supreme Court that Centre has accepted Bihar govt's request recommending CBI enquiry into the death case. Meanwhile, SC is hearing Rhea Chakraborty's petition seeking direction for transfer of investigation from Patna to Mumbai.

However, the apex court has pulled up the Maharastra government over putting Bihar's IPS officer Vinay Tiwari in quarantine. Tiwari came to Mumbai from Patna to investigate Sushant's death case on Sunday but was "forcibly quarantined" by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

Rhea Chakroborty, who had once allegedly tweeted to the Union Home Minister seeking CBI probe into the matter, on Tuesday opposed the move through her lawyer Satish Maneshinde by saying that the decision has “no legal sanctity”.
