Many celebrities saddened by the sudden demise of the actor were seeking CBI probe in the case, including Kangana Ranaut, Shekhar Suman and later Rhea Chakraborty too Maharashtra government had refused to order the probe. The Bihar CM too had said that a CBI probe will only be requested if the actor’s family is willing.
Meanwhile, Rhea Chakraborty has filed a petition in the Supreme Court asking for the case to be transferred to the Mumbai police.
