Sushant Singh Rajput case: Actor's father requests Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to order CBI probe

K.K. Singh reportedly spoke to Kumar on Tuesday.

K.K. Singh, father of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, on Tuesday requested Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to order a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation in the case related to the actor's death.
Singh spoke to the Bihar CM today and put forth his request for the CBI to investigate the matter.
Yesterday, Singh had released a video stating that he had made a complaint to Mumbai police in February that his son's life was in danger, but there was no action from them even after his son's death on June 14, which is why he filed an FIR in Patna.
His request for a CBI probe also comes in the wake of an official of the Bihar Police, Patna (Central) Superintendent of Police (SP) Vinay Tiwari - who was to head the proble into Sushant's death - being home quarantined upon his arrival in Mumbai by the Brihannmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) staff.
Earlier, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) leader Chirag Paswan had also requested the Bihar CM to transfer the case to CBI without further delay. Paswan said that LJP leaders, related to the late actor, had informed him that on August 5 the Supreme Court will hear a petition seeking transfer of the case from Bihar to Mumbai.
"They said that the opportunity to transfer the case filed in Bihar to CBI is with you today. Because today both Bihar and Maharashtra police are investigating the case, but if the probe is handed over to the Maharashtra government then the opportunity of transferring it to the CBI will slip out of the hands of the Bihar government," the letter written by the LJP national chief to Kumar read.
In another legal update, a bench of Bombay High Court (HC) will hear a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking transfer of Sushant Singh Rajput's death case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Tuesday.
The matter will be heard by the bench headed by Bombay HC Chief Justice Dipankar Datta. The PIL for transferring the case related to the actor's death to the CBI has been filed by one Sameet Thakkar, through his lawyer Raspal Singh Renu.
