CBI inquiry not required in Sushant Singh Rajput suicide case, says Maharashtra home minister

Mumbai: During one of the latest interview Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said that there is no need to have CBI inquiry in Sushant Singh Rajput suicide case. He said, “Mumbai Police is competent enough to handle such cases, therefore, no request for a CBI inquiry in the late actor’s alleged suicide case is being considered.”

A strong social media campaign and tweets by prominent personalities from the world of both cinema and politics demanding a CBI inquiry in the Sushant Singh Rajput suicide case hasn’t changed anything for the Maharashtra government.

Deshmukh further added, “I have the tweets and the campaign. But I don’t think a CBI probe is required. The Mumbai Police is competent enough to handle such cases and they are investigating every aspect of the case including professional rivalry. As of now, we do not see any foul play. Details of the investigation will be shared once it is completed.”

Former MP from Bihar, Pappu Yadav, actors Shekhar Suman, Roopa Ganguly, and BJP MP Subramanian Swamy, along with many others have been pushing for a CBI inquiry in the matter. On Thursday, Sushant’s alleged girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty also made a tweet requesting Home Minister Amit Shah to initiate a CBI probe.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Police continues to investigate and record more statements in the case. So far, 35 statements have been recorded.
