New Delhi: The mystery shrouding the circumstances leading to the unnatural death of the upcoming Bollywood star, Sushant Singh Rajput, is growing murkier by the day, primarily due to the shoddy and slipshod investigation by the Mumbai police.
Equally baffling is the insistence of the Patna police, which registered a First Information Report, on the complaint of the deceased’s father, K.K. Singh, and believes that it can teach a lesson or two in policing to its counterparts in Maharashtra.
The perplexing third dimension in this matter has been introduced with a verbal request from the Bihar Chief Minister to the Central government, which has decided to bring the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the picture.
