As the demand for a CBI probe into Sushant Singh Rajput's death intensifies, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri on Tuesday alleged that the Maharashtra Police was intimidating him for his tweets against the Maharashtra Government.

Sushant Singh Rajput death probe
While the Mumbai police has ruled out any foul play in Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise following his viscera report and post-mortem report, Rajput's family has denied that the actor was suffering from depression and has accused Rhea Chakroborty of siphoning off Rs 15 crore and filed an FIR against her for 'abetting' Sushant's suicide. Details of Sushant's expenses for Rhea have been accessed by Republic TV.
After filing the FIR, a 4-member Bihar police team was sent to Mumbai to probe the matter. On Monday, Bihar SP Vinay Tiwari, who arrived in the city a day ago to supervise the probe, was forcibly quarantined by BMC, a move which was strongly opposed by the Bihar Government.
The conflict between the Mumbai Police and Bihar police escalated after Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey questioned the Mumbai Police for its refusal to share documents related to the case. The DGP also raised questions on how all files pertaining to Disha Salian were deleted.
As per reports, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar dialled the MHA requesting for them to step into the matter, expressing dissatisfaction in the way the Bihar Police was being treated by the authorities in Mumbai.
