New Delhi, The ongoing war of words between
Mumbai Police and
Bihar Police
took a turn for the worse on Monday after Bihar Director General of Police (DGP)
Gupteshwar Pandey
questioned the Mumbai Police as to why they did not investigate the money trail while probing the suicide of
Bollywood
actor
Sushant Singh Rajput.
"In the past four years, around Rs 50 crore was credited to the bank account of Sushant Singh Rajput but surprisingly all of it was withdrawn. In one year, Rs 17 crore was credited to his account, out of which Rs 15 crore was withdrawn. Isn't this a crucial point to be investigated? We are not going to sit quite. We will question them(Mumbai Police) as to why such leads are hushed up," a visibly perturbed DGP told the media.
Earlier on Sunday, the Bihar Police chief had reacted strongly when his subordinate
Vinay Tiwari, an SP rank officer, was quarantined by the Mumbai municipal authorities.
"Instead of sharing evidence or handing over the postmortem and forensic reports of Sushant, they (Mumbai) have almost house arrested our SP. I have not seen such non-cooperation by any other state police. If the Mumbai Police are sincere in their approach, they should share the investigation with us," said Pandey, considered as one of the most outspoken serving top cops.
With Bihar Police raising questions over the investigation into Sushant's case by the Mumbai Police, Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh spoke to the media in a bid to clear the air.
The commissioner revealed that as of now, the statements of 56 witnesses have been recorded. He also ruled out any alleged party being thrown at the actor's residence in Bandra the night before he committed suicide on June 14.
