New Delhi: Nearly a month after death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, BJP MP Subramanian Swamy has written to the Prime Minister requesting a CBI probe into the case.
Rajput was reportedly found hanging in his residence on June 14, 2020, in Mumbai. The death sparked a debate about nepotism in the Hindi film industry and many claimed that Sushant did not end his life, but was murdered.
Even as the Mumbai police is still investigating the case, actor’s fans have been pressing for a CBI enquiry to ensure a fair probe.
After the death of Sushant, Swamy had tweeted and appointed lawyer Ishkaran Singh Bhandari to study the case and see if it deemed fit for CBI enquiry.
“Presently in the Sushant Rajput case, Ishkaran is looking to see if Sections 306 and/or 308 of India Penal Code read with Article 21 of the Constitution is applicable. That is, whether accepting the Police version of it being a suicide, was the Actor driven to it?” read one of the tweets of Swamy.
Now, Bhandari has shared a copy of letter, which Swamy wrote to PM Modi seeking CBI probe into the alleged suicide case of Sushant Singh Rajput.
It is said that former Bihar MP Pappu Yadav wrote to Home Minister Amit Shah pressing for CBI enquiry recently and Shah has replied that the letter has been forwarded to the concerned ministry.
