Ishkaran writes to Mumbai Police to collect 'vital cell-tower data' in Sushant's case

Advocate Ishkaran Singh Bhandari, in his latest correspondence with Mumbai Police, has asked them to collect and preserve all "tower data" from the locality of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's flat in Bandra. He tweeted the letters sent to the city police and urged them to keep a record of calls and messages made by people around his flat starting from 6 months before his unfortunate death.

His letter stated that it is imperative to maintain records of the vital data before the cellphone companies delete them from their database. Ishkaran Singh Bhandari has directed Mumbai Police "to collect, preserve and examine all 'dump data' and data of 'cell-tower dump' of the tower location of Late Sushant Singh Rajput's apartment location in Bandra, during the period starting from 6 months prior to the incident till today, with the scrupulous emphasis on one week prior and one week after his mysterious death"

'Sealing of flat needed to preserve evidence' 

In the tweet, Ishkaran revealed that the letter was dispatched back on July 15, 2020, but no response from the Mumbai police has been received yet. The subject of the letter reads - 'Media reports that flat, where the Sushant Singh Rajput was found asphyxiated, is not strictly sealed. Request for preserving the crime scene by sealing it.' The letter furthermore makes three requests to the Mumbai Police which have been listed below - 

• If not already sealed - to seal the Crime Scene i.e the flat of late Sushant Singh Rajput, until the conclusion of the investigation.
• If already sealed - to keep the aforesaid Crime Scene seated until the conclusion of the investigation.
• To make public the information with regard to the sealing of the aforesaid Crime Scene - as the rumours about the same are in effect of creating panic and vitiating the Public Confidence in the State Machinery responsible for maintaining Law and Order.
