The Mumbai Police in its report had stated it to be a suicide case, but after the public uproar and Sushant father’s FIR with Patna police, the state government had urged Centre to launch a CBI inquiry into the case. However, it was only after the Supreme Court gave a nod to the central agency that the CBI began the probe in full force.
