Shortly before leaving for Bihar, Patna (Central) Superintendent of Police (SP) Vinay Tiwari on Friday alleged that "it is not me, but the Sushant Singh Rajput probe that was quarantined".

Released from quarantine by the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) after six days and directed to leave Mumbai before Saturday (August 8) as per the Covid-19 protocols, Tiwari interacted briefly with the media before his departure.

"The Maharashtra government did not isolate me, but quarantined the probe into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput," Tiwari said.

He claimed that this attitude of the Maharashtra government has had an opposite effect on Sushant's suicide case.

Tiwari added that he was not informed by any BMC official personally that he could walk free from quarantine. "The BMC merely sent me a message and I am proceeding to Patna accordingly," he said.
