In a big setback to Maharashtra government, Mumbai Police, the Supreme Court today ordered the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) to probe actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. Giving a quietus to the political and jurisdictional row over investigations into the “unnatural death” of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the Supreme Court has paved the way for a CBI probe into the FIR against actress Rhea Chakraborty, holding that a fair, competent and impartial investigation is the “need of the hour”.
The Mumbai Police will assist CBI with their investigation, the apex court ruled, adding that all investigative material will be handed over to the investigative agency by officials concerned.
