NEW DELHI, Dec 30: After some four quiet months, the Central Bureau of Investigation broke its silence on the inquiry into the unnatural death of Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput claiming that it was “looking into all aspects” and that “no aspect has been ruled out as of date.”
The CBI on Wednesday wrote a letter to the BJP Rajya Sabha member Subramanian Swamy that it is carrying out an intensive and thorough probe into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput.
The CBI responded to Swamy, after he wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in connection with the CBI probe in the death of Sushant who was found dead hanging from the ceiling fan at his Mumbai’s Bandra residence on June 14.
“The CBI is also using advanced mobile forensic equipment for analysis of dump data of the relevant cell tower locations related to the case,” the letter said.
In a detailed reply to Swamy, Superintendent of Police, CBI, Nupur Prasad, said: “The CBI is conducting investigation in a thorough and professional manner using latest scientific techniques. During investigation, all aspects are being looked at and no aspect has been ruled out as of date.”
The letter also gave details of the steps taken by the CBI during the investigations at his residence and other places in Mumbai and questioning of various suspects in the case and informed Swamy that the team also visited all places of concern like Aligarh, Faridabad, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Gurugram’s Manesar and Patna. “Intensive and thorough investigation has been carried out in this regard,” Prasad said.
The CBI had registered a case on August 6 this year after a notification from the Centre at the behest of the Supreme Court. The case was based on the complaint of Sushant’s father KK Singh to Bihar Police dated July 25.
