Maharashtra minister: Bihar police not following protocols in Mumbai in Sushant Singh's case

Bihar police team who is investigating Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's alleged suicide in Mumbai are not following the protocols ,said Maharashtra Cabinet Minister of State said on Thursday.

Minister of State for Home Shambhuraj Desai said what the Bihar police were doing was wrong.

A four member team of the Bihar police arrived Mumbai on Wednesday to investigate an `abetment to suicide'' case registered against actor Rhea Chakraborty and others in Patna connection with the death of Rajput.

"The Mumbai police have registered a case... from day one we are investigating it," he said. Desai said the Patna police have registered a case and a team has landed in Mumbai.

"Whenever a police team from a state visits another state for investigation, there are some protocols which are to be followed.. these were not followed," Desai told a news channel here.

Krishna Kumar Singh (74), Rajput''s father, lodged a complaint against Rhea Chakraborty, the deceased actor''s friend, and six others in Patna on Tuesday.

But in a surprising twist, the late actor''s father, who had so far maintained silence about his son's death, lodged an FIR against Chakraborty and six others, including her family members, for alleged abetment to suicide.

The case was registered under various IPC sections including 341 (wrongful restraint), 342 (wrongful confinement), 380 (theft in dwelling house), 406 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating) and 306 (abetment of suicide).
