Sushant Singh Rajput case: Mumbai police not cooperating, says Bihar DGP

PATNA: The Mumbai police have so far not shared any document with the visiting Bihar police team which is conducting a separate probe into the suicide of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput on the basis of an FIR lodged by the actor’s father, K K Singh, against actress Rhea Chakraborty, her family members and others.
Sushant’s father had accused Rhea of “unlawfully confining the actor, abetting suicide, cheating and criminal conspiracy”.
Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey on Saturday said Patna SSP Upendra Kumar Sharma has written to the police officer concerned in Mumbai to extend help to the Patna police team in carrying out investigations.
“The Patna police team had unsuccessfully tried to meet Mumbai DCP (crime branch) Akbar Pathan on Wednesday. It was on Friday evening that the Patna police team could meet the DCP,” the DGP said.
He added, “We have urged the Mumbai police to share postmortem, inquest and forensic reports with us. The CCTV camera footages of the building where Sushant lived have also been sought.”
Pandey, however, said the Mumbai police officers are not cooperating with the Patna police on the ground that the matter is sub-judice. “I assure those seeking justice for Sushant that truth will prevail,” he said.
Asked about Friday’s video footages in which Mumbai police personnel were seen taking away two members of Patna police team, the DGP said, “The Patna police officers were actually taken to their accommodation. The idea was to protect them from media personnel. It was not a case of detention. It seems the Mumbai police do not want members of the Patna police team to interact with people there.”
