Filmmaker Rumi Jaffery reaches ED office for questioning in Sushant Singh Rajput case | UPDATES
A day after the Supreme Court ordered for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, a team of the agency's SIT will leave for Mumbai to initiate investigation. The SIT team is likely to leave for Mumbai on Thursday evening, according to CBI sources. The source said that the team headed for Mumbai will be led by CBI's Superintendent of Police (SP) Nupur Prasad. They will reach Mumbai with all the medical documents related to Covid-19 reports after ruckus was faced by the Bihar police team weeks ago.
The source said that the CBI team will also collect the documents from the Mumbai Police and meet the investigation officer, who handled the Sushant case. If required the team will also speak to the Mumbai Police DCP, with whom the family of Sushant shared a WhatsApp message in February this year citing threat to the life of the actor.
The late actor's family on Wednesday said that they believe that all those involved in the "dastardly crime" will be brought to justice as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over to probe the case. "Now that the country's premier investigating agency has taken over, we believe that all those involved in the dastardly crime will be brought to justice. Today's development reaffirmed our faith in India as a robust democracy," family said in a statement.
"We, Sushant's family, thank our friends, well-wishers, media and millions of fans worldwide for their love for Sushant and Support for us," the statement added. The family "particularly thanked" Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, for "setting the wheel of justice in motion."
