Maharashra Congress’s general secretary and spokesperson Sachin Sawant on Wednesday raised questions over the probe by central agencies into the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.
The Congress leader alleged that alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is highlighting cases relating to actor's death for the forthcoming Bihar elections.
In a series of tweet Sawant said that the voluntary retirement taken by Bihar’s director general of police Gupteshwar Pandey has ‘shed light on the conspiracy’.
“Big dirty conspiracy of BJP to defame Maharashtra to reduce its national importance! Bihar DGP who was used in this being blatantly rewarded. His VRS says it all BJP had no sympathy for SSR but saw political opportunity to use his death for Bihar elections & now for new film city,” Sawant tweeted.
In another tweet he wrote,"Case of SSR death has now been cast aside. New narrative is about some alleged Bollywood drug nexus. Drug nexus is the pretext but real reason is also to control & arm-twist the film industry. Narrative keeps vacillating from Nepotism, Murder, drug racket to bollywood drug nexus."
In another tweet, he wrote,“Let NCB headed by Modi Ji's blue eyed boy answer first1. Although we hv no objection over NCB probing bollywood drug angle, NCB has office in Mumbai, why didn't they probe it earlier?2. There’s has bn no arrest made by the NCB in FIR 15/2020 which is abt SSR death case.”
Sawant said that,"All arrests made are in FIR 16/2020 which is about alleged drug consumption & has nothing to do with SSR case. Let NCB clarify & educate us as to why it abandoned SSR case & also about government saying NCB has no actionable inputs revealing drugs & film industry nexus."
DGP Gupteshwar Pandey, who made headlines in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, had raised many questions over the Mumbai Police's investigation into the actor's death.
