Soon after the Supreme Court ordered a court-monitored CBI probe into the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput on Wednesday, his legal team said "it is a big day as his family has moved one big step towards justice." Speaking to reporters after the pronouncement of the orders, senior advocate Vikas Singh said, "It's a very important day for us in the fight for justice for Sushant Singh Rajput as the apex court has ordered a court-monitored CBI probe." He further said the top court also held that the probe being carried out by the Mumbai Police was a "very initial" one.

The senior counsel said that now the Central Bureau of Investigation will take all the papers and evidence relating to the case in its possession and would begin the probe rapidly. This verdict is a big leap for justice to be delivered to the family of the late actor, the senior counsel said. Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court ordered a CBI probe into the death of Sushant and asked the Mumbai Police to hand over all evidence collected so far in the case to the CBI.
