Sushant Singh Rajput Death: Bihar DGP Says, ‘Mumbai Police Are Talking Just Like Rhea’; Fumes Over ‘Forced Quarantine’ Of Vinay Tiwari
Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) Gupteshwar Pandey is fuming over the ‘forceful quarantine’ of his SP Vinay Tiwari and said it wasn’t needed. He also went on to say that Mumbai Police ‘are just talking like the accused (Rhea Chakraborty).’
More than a month after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, Bihar Police reached Mumbai to interrogate people close to the actor in his suicide case. SSR ended his life on June 14 by hanging himself, while the post-mortem reports said that the reason behind his death was suicide. Recently, actor’s father filed FIR against Rhea and 5 others while making some shocking allegations against the actress and her family. Meanwhile, reports of Mumbai Police not cooperating with the counterparts have been doing the rounds on social media.
Recently, Bihar Police sent Superintendent of Police Vinay Tiwari to Mumbai to oversee the probe into SSR death. But following the safety precations, Tiwari was sent to ‘forced quarantine’ and it go on to till August 15. Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) Gupteshwar Pandey is fuming over the ‘forceful quarantine’ of Tiwari said it wasn’t needed. He also went on to say that Mumbai Police ‘are just talking like the accused.’ DGP told Mid-day, “Police teams from all over India visit Bihar in connection with their respective cases and we, the Bihar Police, give them full cooperation. I never heard of anything like this before. How will we investigate a case if Mumbai police do not cooperate with us? We are working on our next course of action.”
Further, when asked about Chakraborty's petition in the Supreme Court, seeking the transfer of the abetment of suicide case to Mumbai from Bihar, Pandey told the tabloid, "The accused [Chakraborty] has approached the Supreme Court... seeking to transfer the case from Patna to Mumbai, and they [the Mumbai police] are talking just like the accused, demanding that the case be transferred to them. This matter is sub-judice, we shouldn't comment about it. Let the honourable Supreme Court decide. Mumbai police have not registered any FIR till date; they have only filed one Accidental Death Report.”
He further added, “The matter is not about Bihar police vs Mumbai police, but about Rajput's death case, which must be thoroughly investigated and the mystery behind his alleged suicide must be unfolded and the victim must get justice. For that, we both [Bihar and Mumbai police] have to work in tandem, but there is a lack of coordination and serious communication gap. This is why we had sent a senior IPS officer to Mumbai to bridge the gap as we thought our previous set of officers may hesitate to approach the local senior officials. But he was forcefully quarantined." (ALSO READ: Sushant Singh Rajput Death: After Patna SP Binay Tiwari, 4 Cops From Bihar Who Landed 5 Days Back To Be Quarantined As Well - Report)
