Nation will see how it's done: Bihar DGP implores Mumbai cops to handover Sushant evidence

Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey on Sunday said that there is a "problem" in the investigation in the Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case as the Bihar police has not yet received even the basic documents related to the case. He said, "We don't ve post-mortem report details, CCTV footage or any information that has been collected by Mumbai Police during probe till now."

'The entire nation is watching'

The DGP said that he hopes that the Mumbai Police cooperates as Bihar Police has cooperated with every other state police force whenever was the need. "If the need arises, if there is a problem in cooperation with the Mumbai police, a senior officer will definitely be sent," he said.

"It will be a historic case if we get access to lead the case. If we get to investigate the case, the whole nation will see how it is done," he added.

Asked on Mumbai Police not taking any tough action for over 50 days, Gupteshwar Pandey said, "I have nothing to comment on this. The entire nation is watching." The DGP asserted that the Bihar Police is capable and very much capable to dig in deeper and investigate everything. "We will not leave anyone, nor hold any innocent guilty. We don't want the CBI. We are capable enough," he said.

Speaking about actor Rhea Chakraborty, he said, "You should ask Rhea as to why is she backtracking now. She was okay for a CBI probe. Now when the Bihar Police have come into the picture, She has gone into hiding."
