Swara Bhasker defended Mumbai Police after CBI takes over probe into Sushant Singh Rajput death, said ‘Not fair to suggest Mumbai Police were not doing a good job’

Actor Swara Bhasker has defended the Mumbai Police, even as she hoped for a fair investigation, with CBI taking over the probe into the death case of Sushant Singh Rajput. On Wednesday, the Supreme Court (SC) ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. The apex court said that a ‘fair, competent and impartial investigation is the need of the hour’.

“I don’t think it is fair to suggest that the Mumbai Police were not doing a good job or were not being professional. I think that there is a problem right there that we did not trust the Mumbai Police, we should have. We have no reason to doubt their conduct. I hope the CBI will now be allowed to do their job in a fair and impartial manner,” Swara told in an interview, responding to the development in the Sushant Singh Rajput case.

“There is nothing new to add, I have said this before that the courts, the judicial system must be allowed to do their job, the police should have been allowed to do their job,” she added.

Earlier, Swara said about the debate around Sushant Singh Rajput death,  “Why is it so difficult for people to accept that he may have been depressed? I read an article where someone said that he didn’t look depressed, what theory is that? How can someone ‘look’ it?” She added, “Just because someone is famous, doesn’t mean things can’t be wrong. We as a society need to give more importance to mental health.”
