New Delhi: The Bihar
government, led by Nitish Kumar, on Tuesday suggested a Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) probe into actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death case. There
was increasing pressure on the Bihar government to endorse a CBI investigation
into the Sushant’s death case from all his fans and other political parties. Previously,
Sushant's father KK Singh also requested the state government to submit a
request for the CBI inquiry while his MLA cousin Neeraj Bablu spoke to Nitish
Kumar for the same.
"The DGP told to
Sushant 's father this morning and he gave permission for CBI investigation. So
now, we are recommending CBI inquiry in the matter," CM Nitish Kumar told
news agency ANI.

Fans of Sushant have
been asking a CBI investigation since his death by suicide on June 14. However,
the Maharashtra government maintained that the case won't be transferred to the
CBI as the Mumbai Police is carrying out the investigation well.
Last week, Sushant's
father KK Singh registered an FIR in Patna against the his girlfriend Rhea
Chakraborty, suspecting her of cheating and harassment, after which the Bihar
Police started a parallel inquiry in the case in Mumbai.
