"The country has seen the way in which the Bihar police team was treated in Mumbai. When Bihar Police IPS officer Vinay Tiwari was sent to Mumbai for investigation, he was forcibly quarantined. It is clear that the investigation is not being done properly by Mumbai Police," he added.

Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav also supported MLA Bablu. He said that the RJD has been with Sushant Singh Rajput's family since the beginning.

Yadav said that the Bihar government should take it seriously at the way Mumbai Police and the Maharashtra Government are mishandling the case.
