Sushant Singh Rajput Case: 'Whatever Happened is Not Right', Says Bihar CM Nitish Kumar After IPS Officer Vinay Tiwari 'Forcibly Quarantined'

New Delhi: ‘Whatever happened to him is not right’, said Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday when asked about IPS officer Vinay Tiwari, who was ‘forcibly quarantined’ by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials yesterday.

Notably, Tiwari, currently posted as the City SP (East) in Patna was sent to Mumbai to help the four-member Bihar Police team in the city to probe the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

“Whatever happened to him is not right. It is not political, Bihar Police is carrying out its duty. Our DGP will speak to them”, news agency ANI quoted Nitish Kumar as saying.

Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey said that he will speak to his Mumbai counterpart. “We are trying to speak with the DGP and other officials there. I don’t have more to say on this”, Pandey told ANI. 

Meanwhile, BMC has defended its action, saying that Patna Superintendent of Police has been quarantined as per the present guidelines for domestic arrivals at Mumbai Airport.

“Administration got info of arrival of a Bihar Police officer yesterday. Being a domestic air traveller, he needed to be guided for home quarantine as per state govt notification of May 25. A team guided him to apply for exemption in home quarantine period as per govt notification”, the civic body said in a statement.

On the other hand, The deceased actor’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti has strongly criticised the civic body’s decision to quarantine the Bihar cop. “What? Is this even for real? How can an officer sent on duty be quarantined for 14 Days? #JusticeForSushant,” she tweeted.

Tiwari arrived in Mumbai on Sunday and was quarantined by the BMC authorities late in the night for 14 days at the State Reserve Police Force quarter in suburban Goregaon.  His hand was also stamped showing the quarantine period till August 15.
