Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case: Bihar DGP Says ‘Rhea Chakraborty Absconding, Not Coming Forward' After Supreme Court Refuses To Grant Protection

It was today morning that the Supreme Court passed its verdict on Rhea Chakraborty’s petition of shifting Sushant Singh Rajput’s death investigation from Bihar police to Mumbai. During the same, the Centre approved Bihar government’s request of CBI probe. SC, on the other hand, refused to grant protection to Rhea. The single-member Supreme Court bench, which was headed by Justice Hrisheksh Roy, has given the Maharashtra government and police three days to share all details in regards to the probe on the Kai Po Che actor’s demise.

Now, the Bihar DGP, Gupteshwar Pandey, in his statement to ANI, said that Rhea Chakraborty is 'absconding' and is not 'coming forward' from ever since the SC’s judgement has been out. Gupteshwar Pandey also revealed how they have no information about the actress being in touch with Mumbai police either "Rhea Chakraborty is not in touch with us. She is absconding, she is not coming forward. We don't have any information about she being in touch with even Mumbai police,” said the police official to ANI.

On being asked about IPS Officer Vinay Tiwari, who has been 'quarantining' in Mumbai, the DGP of Bihar said, “We requested BMC to exempt IPS officer Vinay Tiwari from being quarantined. We told them at least send him back as he is an IPS officer. This is not a professional behaviour. This officer is being kept as if he has been arrested."
