Mumbai/ New Delhi:
A special team of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) – set up to investigate Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death – this morning questioned a staff member of the actor, who was found dead at his home in Mumbai on June 14.
The 10-member team, led by Superintendent of Police (SP) Nupur Prasad, reached Mumbai late last night to begin investigation in the case. Nupur Prasad, the officer in-charge of this case, met cops from the Mumbai Police today. The team collected case records from Mumbai Police, including postmortem report.
Sushant Singh Rajput’s cook, who is among the key witnesses, was questioned by the CBI officers.
Forensic experts from Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL), who are a part of the team, will examine the crime scene today.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that the CBI would take over all investigations into the Sushant Singh Rajput case, asserting that “an impartial probe is the need of the hour”.
The Supreme Court also asked the Mumbai police to hand over all evidence it has collected to the investigating agency and said any other case registered in connection with the actor’s death would also be investigated by the CBI.
