Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 20 : Param Bir Singh, Mumbai Police Commissioner on Thursday arrived at Mantralaya to attend a meeting with Anil Deshmukh, Maharashtra Home Minister in connection with the actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death case.
On August 19, while holding that the FIR registered in Patna over the death of Bollywood actor was legitimate, the Supreme Court directed the CBI to investigate the case.
The single-judge bench of Justice Hrishikesh Roy also said the Bihar government was competent to recommend transferring the case to the CBI.
