The
Apex Court has on Wednesday ordered that the CBI would take over the
investigation into the Bollywood start, actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death.
The Court has also asked the Mumbai
police to hand over all evidence it has collected to the agency. The SC’s order
is now being considered as big win for Bihar in its tussle with Maharashtra.
The SC also said the FIR registered in Patna based on a complaint filed by
Sushant Singh's father was correct and Bihar was competent to ask the CBI to
investigate the case. A fair, competent and impartial probe is the need of the
hour to stop speculation, said the top court.
“Sushant Singh Rajput was a talented
actor in the Mumbai film world and died well before his full potential could be
realized. His family, friends and admirers are keenly waiting for the outcome
of the investigation”, the court said, adding that the outcome would be a
measure of justice for the actor's father, who lost his only son.
Sushant Singh Rajput, 34, was found dead
in his Mumbai apartment on June 14.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Police said that it
was suicide and had been investigating whether he was suffering from depression
and had felt slighted by film industry insiders and cliques.
