Vinay Tiwari, the IPS officer from Patna who is in Mumbai to solve a case related to Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, has been “forcibly quarantined” by civic authorities in the metropolis.
Mr Tiwari is heading a Bihar Police team which is in Mumbai to investigate an “abetment to suicide” case on the basis of a complaint filed by the late actor’s father in Patna.
The BMCs P/south ward officials came to know about the domestic travel of a Bihar police officer and his staying at SRPFs group 8 guest house located in Goregaon (East),” the BMC said in a statement.
“As per the directives, the BMC officials reached the guest house and informed the Bihar police officer about the directives of necessary home quarantine after such domestic travel,” it added.
BMC’s clarification came after Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey on Sunday alleged that Tiwari who is heading the Bihar Police team was “forcibly quarantined” by civic authorities in the metropolis.
Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Monday said the “forcible quarantine” of IPS officer, who was sent to Mumbai to lead the probe into the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, was “inappropriate.”
Kumar’s remarks come after Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey alleged that IPS officer Vinay Tiwari, has been “forcibly quarantined” by civic authorities in the metropolis. He also said that Tiwari was also “denied” a stay at IPS mess and the four-member Patna Police team members, who have been in Mumbai for the last six days, were not quarantined.
