Replying to this, PTI quoted Uddhav Thackeray saying, “The opposition can even bring Interpol or followers of the Namaste Trump event into the inquiry. Devendra Fadnavis should understand that it is the same police whom he has worked within the last five years.” He added, “The state police and Mumbai police are fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. They are COVID warriors and not to trust them is an insult to them. I would like to tell Rajput's fans to trust the Mumbai police and give whatever information they have to them. You can criticise if the case is not taken to its logical conclusion. We will interrogate and punish the guilty. However, please don't use this case as a Maharashtra versus Bihar issue. This is the most deplorable thing to do.” ALSO READ| Sushant Singh Rajput’s Sister Shweta Singh Writes To PM Modi; Appeals Urgent Scan Of Case In the meanwhile, Mumbai Police and Bihar Police are rigorously investigating the case in a detailed manner.
