Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party supremo Sharad Pawar today said the Maharashtra government will fully cooperate with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for probe in the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.
Pawar said he was sure that the Maha Vikas Aghadi government will respect the Supreme Court’s order upholding transfer of Patna Police’s FIR in the case to the CBI.
Pawar also said he was hopeful that the investigation in the actor’s death will not be carried on the way it happened in rationalist Narendra Dabholkars murder case, which has remained unresolved.
The NCP is a constituent of the Maha Vikas Aghadi and party leader Anil Deshmukh holds the Home portfolio.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected actress Rhea Chakraborty’s petition to transfer the investigation from Patna to Mumbai in actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case. The court said that said Bihar government was competent to give consent to CBI for probing into the Patna FIR.
A single-judge bench of Justice Hrishikesh Roy pronounced the judgement. The bench held that the contents as disclosed by the FIR registered in Patna indicate that even Mumbai Police has jurisdiction.
