Sushant Singh Rajput Case: CBI To Take Over From Mumbai Police

On Wednesday (August 19), the Supreme Court ordered a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The CBI is set to write to the Mumbai Police to get hold of all the evidence and statements it recorded in the last two months, including forensic and post-mortem reports of the actor. The CBI is waiting for a copy of the SC order, although clear orders have been given in the verdict. A pre-prepared Special Investigation Team (SIT), comprising three CBI Senior IPS officers will investigate the case.

The SIT includes Joint Director (SIT Head) Manoj Shashidhar, IPS Gagandeep Gambhir, SP Nupur Prasad and Additional SP Anil Yadav. The CBI investigation will be based on the FIR of the Bihar Police, who had filed a case of abetment to suicide, cheating and conspiracy (IPC 341, 348, 380, 406, 420, 306/120B) on Rajput’s father Krishna Kishore Singh’s complaint. According to top CBI sources, the agency will write to the Mumbai Police to share all the evidence they collected in the probe.
