"Bihar Police cannot investigate the case in Mumbai without permission. The team should first inform the Mumbai Police," Minister of state for home (rural) Shambhuraj Desai told Zee Media.


The Maharashtra government has, meanwhile, maintained that Sushant's case won't be handed over to the CBI despite mounting pressure from the actor's fans, a few Bollywood personalities and politicians. As per Maharashtra, the Mumbai Police is fully capable of a fair probe and is doing the investigation fairly. 


Desai also added that during Mumbai Police's interrogation, Sushant's family did not name anyone. The Mumbai Police is questioning people and Bollywood personalities and investigation is going in the right direction. 


The Mumbai Police has so far questioned over 35 people in Sushant's case while the Bihar Police has quizzed his sister Mitu Singh and ex-girlfriend Ankita Lokhande. 


Sushant died by suicide on June 14 in Mumbai. He was said to be under stress and depression.
