CBI For Sushant Singh Rajput: Mumbai Police To Conduct A Parallel Probe? Home Min Anil Deshmukh Assures Full Cooperation To CBI

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court passed the verdict over the petition filed by Rhea Chakraborty in Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case. The apex court ordered that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will take over the investigation into Sushant’s death. The SC also reportedly asked Mumbai Police to hand over all the evidence that was collected so far in the case to the CBI. Now, Times Now has reported that Mumbai Police will likely make an attempt for a parallel probe along with the CBI.

Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh briefed the media today. According to Times Now, he said that they will decide about the parallel probe by Mumbai Police on the basis if Para 34. Times Now also quoted him saying, “State Govt will cooperate with the SC order. Politics over this case happened in view of Bihar polls. But SC observed that Mumbai Police did the job in an efficient manner.” While briefing the media, Anil Deshmukh said that the politics over Sushant’s death case was being done eyeing the upcoming elections in Bihar, but it’s a blow to all the political leaders who have been trying to malign the Mumbai Police, as the Supreme Court today has made it very clear that the Mumbai Police probe was done in an efficient manner.

Meanwhile, a report in Times Of India that stated the key points of the Supreme Court’s verdict also mentioned that the apex court ensured that there was ‘no confusion about CBI being the sole authority to probe the mystery behind Rajput's suicidal death and that no other state police could interfere with it.
