The Bihar Government has submitted in writing to the Supreme Court that the FIR was not lodged on account of political pressure in Maharashtra. They also specified that neither was any cooperation provided to the Bihar government in the case connected to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.
According to a report by ABP live, the Bihar government specified in their written submission, “It is apparent that it is on account of political pressure in the State of Maharashtra that neither the FIR has been registered by the Mumbai Police nor did they extend any cooperation to Bihar Police in discharging their obligation to conduct investigation expeditiously.”

Senior advocate Maninder Singh, representing the Bihar government, argued on similar lines. Talking about the Bihar officer being quarantined, the government said, “Whereas on the one hand, the State of Bihar and its officials had acted with all sense of responsibility and regard to authorities of State of Maharashtra, sadly, it has met with complete absence of reciprocation by similar conduct by the authorities of the State of Maharashtra.”
The Bihar government further said, “In the facts and circumstances of the present case, it is humbly submitted that no impediment would deserve to be allowed to come in the way of the CBI to undertake and complete the investigation expeditiously.”
