Bihar Cops Claim Non-Cooperation By Mumbai Police, ‘We Gave Them An Open Challenge To Trace Us’

After the FIR had been filed against Rhea and five others, four Bihar police officials flew down to Mumbai for further investigation in the case. In Mumbai, the Bihar cops faced incoordination and the Mumbai police were not extending any helping hand to them in their probe and therefore, they had to resort to other ways to make sure they got all the information they needed before they left the city.  

According to a Mid-Day report, they questioned several people in Bollywood disguised as astrologers and managed to evade the prying eyes of the city cops who were on their tail all the time. On Thursday, when they left the city, they had all the evidence needed in the case. Investigating officer Qaiser Yasin who was heading the Bihar police team in the probe said, they had use ‘jugaad’ to complete their inquiry in Mumbai. "After reaching Mumbai on  28th July, we realized that the local police won't help us in the investigation. So, we dressed up as astrologers and entered the world of Bollywood, and spoke to several people in the industry in connection with Rajput's death," Yasin told Mid-Day.
