Patna: In a major development, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has recommended CBI probe in the mysterious death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, after SSR's family formally requested for the same.

Bihar CM said that he has asked the Bihar DGP to initiate recommendations for a CBI probe in the case.

Speaking to Republic TV, Nitish Kumar said, " We have already said they have lodged FIR. Its duty of Bihar police to investigate on that basis. If they wish to transfer to CBI, it will be done immediately. I have spoken to the DGP. From here recommendation is being given for a CBI probe. We have Sushant's family's consent. It will be done today. Proceedings will be started."

Slamming the Mumbai Police, Kumar said that Bihar Police received no cooperation from their Mumbai counterparts. "Our IPS officer was quarantined. The kind of treatment our officers are getting is unacceptable. Is this the treatment given to someone going for an investigation?"

Earlier, Sushant's father KK Singh had spoken to Bihar CM Nitish Kumar requesting him to order CBI investigation into the actor's death case.

Sushant Singh's brother and BJP MLA Neeraj Kumar Bablu thanked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for recommending the CBI inquiry and said the truth will come out soon.

It is pertinent to mention Sushant Singh's case was raised in the Bihar assembly on Monday and almost all lawmakers demanded a CBI inquiry into the matter.
