Mumbai: Since the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, fans have been running a campaign on social media demanding a CBI inquiry. Many celebrities in cinema and politics have also demanded a CBI inquiry into Sushant’s suicide.
According to reports, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has rejected the demand for a CBI inquiry.
According to interview given to Mid Day, Deshmukh said that there is no need for a CBI inquiry into Sushant’s suicide.
“The Mumbai Police is competent enough to investigate the matter. No demand for a CBI inquiry is being considered,” he said.
“I have seen the tweets and the campaign. But I don’t think a CBI probe is required. The Mumbai Police is competent enough to handle such cases and they are investigating every aspect of the case including professional rivalry. As of now, we do not see any foul play. Details of the investigation will be shared once it is completed,” he added.
