CBI QUESTIONS SUSHANT SINGH RAJPUT’S STAFF IN MUMBAI

MUMBAI: A day after the Supreme Court (SC) ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, a team of CBI officials arrived in Mumbai late on Thursday night and began the probe on Friday.

The Central Bureau of Investigation questioned Neeraj Singh, who was employed as Rajput’s cook, and the actor’s house manager Samuel Miranda.

They will question the actor’s manager Deepesh Sawant next, said an official familiar with the matter.

The Central Bureau of Investigation has set up four teams to investigate the circumstances surrounding Rajput’s death.

One will focus on translating documents from Marathi to English, while another will question people supposedly involved in the case.

Another team will coordinate with superiors in Delhi and handle logistics in Mumbai.

The fourth team, meanwhile, met deputy commissioner of police (Zone 9) Abhishek Trimukhe at his office in Bandra to collect documents, including the forensic report and postmortem reports as well as statements of more than 60 people whom Mumbai Police had questioned as part of its investigation.

These and other material evidence were handed over to the CBI team, said officials from the Mumbai Police.

CBI will also collect other evidence, including Rajput’s personal items such as his three mobile phones, a laptop, clothes, a blanket, bed sheets, a green kurta, a glass, and CCTV footage of his house and building, added the official quoted above.

According to the official, once the documentation is complete, CBI plans to visit the actor’s flat in Bandra and recreate the scene. The actor was found dead in his apartment on June 14.
