Bihar DGP says Rhea Chakraborty is absconding and not coming forward

Gupteshwar Pandey, DGP Bihar said in a statement on Wednesday that Rhea Chakraborty is not in touch with them as per a report in ANI. “She is absconding, she is not coming forward. We don’t have any information about she being in touch with even Mumbai Police,” he said.

He also requested exemption of the Patna SP Vinay Tiwari from quarantine. He said, “We requested BMC to exempt IPS officer Vinay Tiwari from being quarantined. We told them at least send him back as he is an IPS officer. This is not professional behaviour. This officer is being kept as if he has been arrested.”

Vikas Singh, the lawyer appointed by Sushant’s family had told Pinkvilla in an interview, “Firstly, Rhea Chakraborty has gone into hiding. Of course, I know where she is hiding but I can’t tell you that right now. Patna Police cannot reach there because the senior officer (IPS officer Vinay Tiwari) who came to investigate the case from Patna, has already been quarantined in Mumbai. The earlier team that was already there, they are also trying to quarantine them. They are in fact on the lookout for the other officers from Bihar Police as well. This is why the urgency for getting the matter referred to CBI today itself.”

Meanwhile, the government has approved CBI enquiry into Sushant’s suicide case.
