Minutes after, Supreme Court officially transferred Sushant Singh Rajput death case to CBI DGP Gupteshwar Pandey expressed his happiness. In his press talk with ANI, Pandey said, I am very happy. The Supreme Court's order has strengthened the trust people have in the Court and has assured the nation that justice will be delivered in the Sushant Singh Rajput's death case.” He said that the way in which Mumbai Police behaved during the investigation was illegal. He even slammed them by talking about quarantining SP Vinay Tiwari when he went to Mumbai to investigate. Further, he also mentioned that Rhea Chakraborty is no one to comment on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
For the unversed, Rhea in her affidavit mentioned, Sushant's case is being blown out of proportion as Bihar elections are just round-the-corner and also an FIR was filed in Bihar because the Chief Minister got involved in the matter. The CBI has registered an FIR against Rhea Chakraborty and others in connection with the actor's death after the Centre accepted Bihar government's recommendation to transfer the probe in the matter from Patna. An FIR was registered in Patna on a complaint filed by KK Singh, Rajput's father, under sections related to abetment to suicide. Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14. Meanwhile, after the verdict was announced, several celebs like Akshay Kumar, Kangana Ranaut, Madhur Bhandarkar and others hailed the Supreme Court’s decision to transfer Sushant’s case to the CBI. Sushant’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti hailed the decision along with Ankita Lokhande.
