The  Central Bureau of Investigation is now probing the case after Mumbai Police investigated the case for over 40 days and Bihar Police also stepped in briefly to investigate the case registered by the family.

The NCB also arrested Rhea, her brother Showik and members of Sushant’s staff for their alleged involvement in a drug cartel. Rhea is currently out on bail, while Showik is still lodged in Byculla jail. Amid numerous inconsistencies and loopholes in the case, the CBI clarified that the probe on all angles was still on, as AIIMS team’s alleged forensic report ruling out murder was called out over Dr Sudhir Gupta’s U-turn.
