Sushant Singh Rajput case: BMC refuses to free Vinay Tiwari from quarantine despite Patna IG letter

The IPS officer was to head the probe into the actor's death.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has refused to free Bihar IPS officer Vinay Tiwari from quarantine, despite a request via letter from the Patna Inspector General. Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey took to Twitter on Wednesday to reveal the development.
DGP Pandey tweeted in Hindi from his verified Twitter account, which translates to: "The Patna IG had written a letter to the Chief of BMC opposing the quarantining of IPS Vinay Tiwari and requested that he be released, which has been rejected. BMC has sent a reply to the letter to Patna Police. Now our SP Vinay Tiwari will be locked inside for 14 days. This decision of BMC is unfortunate!"

IPS officer Vinay Tiwari, who had been assigned with heading the probe into late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death case by Bihar DGP Pandey, was quarantined by the BMC soon after his arrival in Mumbai on Sunday.

At the time Bihar DGP Pandey had expressed his displeasure over what he said was non-cooperation of Mumbai Police in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. He had also claimed that Tiwari was put under house arrest in Mumbai on the pretext of quarantine.
