“Cannot be stopped from investigation on the basis of jurisdiction” – Bihar Police
The Bihar police said that the Bihar IG had to appeal to the Mumbai officers to get Vinay Tiwari out of the quarantine. Bihar Police also said that it is necessary for any officer to first file an FIR and then investigate. After this, the report should be forwarded to the court. Section 156 (2) clearly states that no police officer can be stopped from investigation on the grounds that he does not come under this jurisdiction.

Mumbai Police investigation in the wrong direction: Sushant’s father’s lawyer
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court deferred hearing on the plea of advocate Ajay Aggarwal till August 21. In the petition, Sushant’s father had raised questions about handing over the case to the CBI. At the same time, Vikas Singh, advocate for Sushant’s father, said that the Mumbai Police is a very professional force. Talking about this case, due to some reasons, they went completely in the wrong direction. The apex court should direct the Mumbai Police to help the CBI.
What did Ujjwal Nikam say?
Senior Mumbai lawyer, Ujjwal Nikam, said that “if the Supreme Court orders the transfer of the case filed in Patna to Mumbai on the petition of Rhea, then technically the CBI investigation would be deemed to be canceled”.
Sushant’s sister advocates CBI probe
Sushant’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti has posted a photo of herself on Instagram, in which she posed with a white board in her hand. It was written on this – “I am Shweta Singh Rajput, sister of Sushant Singh Rajput and I demand a CBI inquiry’.
Shweta wrote with this photo – “this is a time when we have to find truth and get justice. Help us and our family to bring out the truth, otherwise we will never live in peace. Raise your voice and demand a CBI inquiry for Sushant”.
The case is turning out to be much more complicated than anyone thought. The names of many prominent actors and politicians have been linked to this case. Many fans also feel that his suicide is very closely linked to that of his ex manager. Disha Salian. Disha had reportedly committed suicide only five days prior to Sushant. This has led many to speculate if the two cases were somehow linked. Other than this, bollywood celebrities Mahesh Bhatt and Sooraj Pancholi are being called out by fans as having a part in the whole thing. Only proper investigation will reveal who was involved and who wasn’t.
