Swamy calls upon Centre to seek report from Maha Guv on Mumbai-Patna police's 'ugly' clash

Amid the ongoing ruckus between the Bihar and Maharashtra police in the mysterious death case of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has called on the Centre to review the matter. Taking to Twitter, the Rajya Sabha MP suggested that as custodian of the Constitution, Centre should ask the Maharashtra Governor for a report on the present 'ugly clash' of states' police. Swamy also expressed that the clash of Mumbai-Patna police may harm justice in the mysterious death because of 'fudging' that is going on to make it look a suicide. 

Swamy's remarks come as the IPS officer sent by Bihar Police to monitor and further investigate the death case of Sushant Singh, has been placed under quarantine for 14 days amid the COVID pandemic. Along with the IPS officer, the 4-member Bihar police team has also been put under quarantine. The Bihar and Mumbai police are currently investigating the death case of the actor simultaneously.
