Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) Gupteshwar Pandey has alleged that the Maharashtra government has “affected” the actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death probe by quarantining IPS officer Vinay Tiwari.
In an update on Times Now, the DGP assured that the Patna Inspector General will write a protest letter to the BMC and that they are awaiting the Supreme Court’s ruling on the case. He said, “Patna IG will write a protest letter to BMC.

The action taken by Maharashtra Govt has affected the Sushant Singh death probe. The entire case is in SC and we are waiting for the court verdict.”

Pandey also questioned the BMC's decision to quarantine Tiwari by asking, 'Why was the Bihar Police team was not quarantined when they reached Mumbai?'

Taking to his Twitter handle, Pandey said, "IPS officer Vinay Tiwari arrived in Mumbai today on official duty to lead his police team from Patna but he was forcibly quarantined by the BMC officers at around 11 p.m. Earlier, he was not given a place in the IPS mess when he said that he is staying in a guest house in Goregaon."

Amid the mounting row over the move to put Tiwari to isolation, the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday said that he has been "quarantined as per existing norms in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic".

The BMC said the P/SouthWard administration received information of the officer arriving at the SRPF Group 8 guesthouse in Goregaon east and a BMC team went to meet him on Sunday evening.
"Being a domestic air traveller, he needs to be guided for home quarantine as per the State government guidelines. Accordingly, the P/South ward team approached him at the said guest house late on Sunday evening," the official said.

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai house on June 14. Since then, the Mumbai Police have recorded the statements of 56 people. They have also assured all that investigation into the matter will be looked into from "all angles".
