Sushant Singh Rajput Case: Maharashtra Congress Questions Probe By Central Agencies

Mumbai: Maharashtra Congress on Wednesday raised questions over the probe by central agencies in the Sushant Singh Rajput (SSR) death case.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is highlighting cases relating to the actor’s death for the forthcoming Bihar elections, it alleged, according to a report in Hindustan Times (HT).

Highlighting the connection between the voluntary retirement taken by Bihar’s director general of police Gupteshwar Pandey and his reported plans to fight the elections, Maharashtra Congress’s general secretary and spokesperson Sachin Sawant said it has ‘shed light on the conspiracy’.

Sharing a news report of Pandey’s resignation and reported plans to fight Bihar elections, Sawant said the police officer was being ‘rewarded,’ HT reported.

“It is a big conspiracy to defame Maharashtra and reduce its national importance. Bihar DGP, who was used in this episode, is being blatantly rewarded. BJP has no sympathy for SSR, but saw political opportunity to use his death for Bihar elections and now for the new film city,” Sawant tweeted.

 

He also alleged that it is an attempt to control and arm-twist the film industry. He said the investigation which started around the death case of SSR shifted to nepotism, murder conspiracy and then to drug dealing and Bollywood’s nexus with it.

Reacting to Sawant’s attack, BJP spokesperson Keshav Upadhye was quoted as saying in HT, “All the central agencies have been probing the cases on the basis of the facts and the proofs they have come across. We do not need to use these cases for elections in any state. We have already clarified that the Bihar elections will be fought on the development plank. There is no need to take Sawant and his allegations seriously as he is known for his baseless ranting.”
