Two days after the Supreme Court (SC) asked Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over Sushant Singh Rajput’s case, the agency began its probe on Friday by questioning a former staff of the actor and collected relevant documents from Mumbai Police.
A special investigation team (SIT) of the CBI, which is being lead by superintendent of police (SP) Nupur Prasad, comprising officers and forensic experts, landed in Mumbai on Thursday evening.
The probe team will record statements of people connected with the case, sources said. It will also scan financial transactions of the 34- year-old actor, who was found dead in his apartment, they said.
On Friday morning, CBI officials brought Rajput’s cook for questioning at Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Air Force guest house in suburban Santa Cruz.
Another CBI team reached the Bandra Police station, where an accidental death report (ADR) was registered after the alleged suicide by the actor, reports said. The team collected case diary of the ADR and other important documents related to the investigation of the case, which included autopsy and forensic reports.
The CBI officials also met Abhishek Trimukhe, the deputy commissioner of police who was heading the Mumbai Police probe team.
“Officers from the SIT and a forensic expert will visit the crime scene which is Sushant’s residence in Mumbai where he was found dead. The SIT will recapture the crime scene,” said a source. The team will recreate the crime scene at the spot during the investigation, the sources said.
CBI officials said they will not be “arresting any suspect in the death case until any concrete and solid evidence is found against them”.
