Mumbai Police silent on Rs 15 crore withdrawal from Sushant’s account: says Bihar DGP

The Mumbai police and Bihar police has been on a war of words, since Sushant Singh Rajput’s father filed an FIR against actress Rhea Chakraborty. It worsened after Gupteshwar Pandey, the Bihar Director General of Police questioned the Mumbai Police about why they did not investigate Sushant’s bank account while probing the suicide of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The DGP told “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four years, around Rs 50 crore was credited to the bank account of Sushant Singh Rajput but surprisingly all of it was withdrawn. In one year, Rs 17 crore was credited to his account, out of which Rs 15 crore was withdrawn.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 quiet. We will question them (Mumbai Police) as to why such leads are hushed up,”. He continued :”Instead of sharing evidence or handing over the postmortem and forensic reports of Sushant, they (Mumbai Police) 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,”

Talking about Rhea Chakaraborty, the DGP said that in the FIR registered by deceased father in Patna, she happens to be an accused. He said to the media: “Let me remind everyone that Rhea is an accused. We are collecting evidence against her. Once sufficient evidence is collected by our police, we will arrest her. But of course we will be transparent in our investigation. Our police officers are in Mumbai to dig out more facts and evidence,”

The financial angle in SSR’s case has not been investigated by Mumbai Police and the DGP want to know why. He said: Why are the police not investigating the financial angle? Why are they silent on this front? I am not raising these questions based on any presumption. We have documentary evidence for all the financial aspects of this case.”
