CBI Probe Not Required in Sushant Singh Rajput Case: Anil Deshmukh
Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh has said that Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case won't be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), added that the Mumbai Police is carrying out the investigation well and hence, there is no need for a CBI probe. “Mumbai police are investigating the case. It will not be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation,” Anil Deshmukh said on Wednesday.

Maharashtra Home Minister comments come a day after Sushant Singh Rajput’s father, KK Singh, filed an FIR in Patna Police station against the late actor’s girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty, under the various sections of the Indian Penal Code. Rhea Chakraborty on Wednesday filed a petition to transfer the investigation to Mumbai.

A meeting of the top Mumbai Police officials was called this evening by Anil Deshmukh, amid fresh twists and new angles being probed in Sushant's case. The meeting was held just a day after the Bihar Police also began its probe in the case as an FIR was lodged by Sushant's father KK Singh in Patna against his actress-girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s father, KK Singh, in his FIR said that on June 8, when Rhea Chakraborty found that the bank balance of the late actor is going down, she left with cash, jewellery, laptop, credit card, its pin number and password and important documents and doctors’ receipts.

On Wednesday, a meeting was also held at Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's residence to discuss the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. It was attended by the ministers of the Uddhav cabinet and Mumbai Police officials. The government said after the meeting was over that the Mumbai Police is capable of investigating the case and hence, it won't be transferred to the CBI.

According to the Mumbai police, statements of 41 people, including filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Aditya Chopra have been recorded in the investigation so far.

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai residence on June 14.
