Maharashtra Cabinet Minister of State Sambhuraj Desai also said that the Bihar police cannot investigate Sushant Singh Rajput's death case in Maharashtra without permission. He stressed that the Bihar Police will have to inform the Mumbai Police before carrying out any investigation in the actor's death case. In a recent statement, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has also said that the Mumbai Police is not inefficient and appealed Sushant’s fans to trust the Mumbai Police and provide whatever information they have to them. However, the 'non-cooperation' of Mumbai Police is not going well with the political leaders of Bihar and they have been continuously raising questions on why the Maharashtra govt is not ready to transfer the case to CBI.

A Bihar cop told IANS that the Bihar Police team will continue to do its work in Mumbai, but it has faced many problems because it is not getting support from the Mumbai Police at all. He said, “Now whatever has to be done, we have to do it on our own. Sadly, we are not getting along with the Mumbai Police at all. It is very difficult to work.” 'A politician's son and his big director friend is involved in the case' Slamming the lack of cooperation among the two police forces and emphasizing that the actor's death involved foul play. In an interview to a leading news channel, Shehzad Poonawala made certain disclosures related to the Sushant's death. He said, " The reason Maharashtra government is not transferring the case to CBI is that the truth will destroy the three-wheeled government of Maha Vikas Aghadi. There was a party and it will disclose the deserving or undeserving face of the politician's son and there were 2 other actors with him at that party. The son needs to be protected as there are a lot of connection with that. If the name of the son and his friend, a big director, comes out it will destroy the government. I cannot disclose names but this is the real reason Mahasrahstra govt and Mumbai Police have ruled out the foul play and Anil Deshmukh has insisted on keeping the case with the Mumbai Police. " The Mumbai Police has so far questioned over 35 people in the case whereas the Bihar Police has quizzed the late actor's sister Mitu Singh and his former girlfriend Ankita Lokhande.
