Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has released Bihar IPS officer Vinay Tiwari from quarantine, who came to Mumbai to supervise the Sushant Singh Rajput death case probe.

In a late night order, BMC Additional Municipal Commissioner P. Velrasu has permitted Tiwari to be released from home quarantine.

The development came after the Bihar Police wrote to the BMC on Thursday that Tiwari should be exempt from home quarantine to facilitate his return to his home state to resume duties.
The Bihar Police also pointed out that he was no longer required in Mumbai and his arrival period was within 7 days.

Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey  took to Twitter to thank the BMC for releasing Tiwari this morning.

"Following the remarks of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, Bihar Police Headquarters wrote a letter to the Commissioner of BMC yesterday requesting to release IPS officer Vinay Tiwari, accepting which Vinay was freed. He will return to Patna this evening. Thanks to BMC!" tweeted DGP Pandey in Hindi

Meanwhile, the CBI on Thursday took over the investigation into Sushant Singh Rajput death case and re-registered the Patna police FIR related to alleged criminal conspiracy and abetment to suicide against Rhea Chakraborty and her family members, officials said Thursday.

The case will be probed by a special investigation team under Superintendent of Police Nupur Prasad and will be supervised by DIG Gagandeep Gambhir and Joint Director Manoj Shashidhar, both senior IPS officers from the Gujarat cadre, they said.
