Mumbai Police has gone rogue; I'd told CM Nitish to go for CBI inquiry: Subramanian Swamy

After sources said that Sushant Singh Rajput's family is likely to request Bihar CM Nitish Kumar to hand over the case of the late Bollywood actor to the CBI, BJP MP Dr Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday said that he had told Bihar Chief Minister that he should ask for a probe by the central agency since Mumbai Police on this issue has "gone rogue"

'Nitish has no objection'

"Today there are reports that Nitish may indeed go for CBI inquiry," Subramanian Swamy said on Twitter.

On July 29, the Rajya Sabha MP informed that he spoke on phone to Bihar CM Nitish Kumar. "I praised Patna Police & free hand he has given for the thorough investigation and the FIR. Since now there are two probes, I will initiate for a CBI probe. He said he (Nitish) has no objection but wants justice done for Sushant and culprits caught," Dr Swamy had said.
