Advocate Ishkaran Singh Bhandari took to his social media to express his outrage towards Mumbai Police for impeding justice for Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput by placing Bihar SP Vinay Tiwari under "state-Government advised" quarantine for 14 days. Senior officer IPS officer Vinay Tiwari was deployed by the Bihar Police to monitor and lead the probe into Sushant's death after reports of non-cooperation by Mumbai Police reached Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey. 

Ishkaran labeled the news as "crazy, shocking, unreal" as he lashed out at BMC for mocking the investigation into Sushant's probe by asking a top officer. He bashed them by repeatedly saying "Have some shame!" and added that it's clearly evident that this "shameless behavior" is only to hamper the ongoing probe. He claimed that it isn't a 'Mumbai vs Bihar system war' and that this kind of exertion of power over the law is only mocking the entire case, calling it a 'farce'.
