On Friday, the CBI questioned Neeraj for over 10 hours, besides Sushant’s other staff Dipesh Sawant and his house manager Samuel Miranda were also questioned.
Miranda was questioned for over five hours by the CBI.
CBI has also contacted the AIIMS in Delhi to seek medico-legal opinion on the autopsy report of the late actor.
The CBI team began its investigation into the case on Friday. A 10-member team led by Superintendent of Police (SP) Nupur Prasad is probing the controversial death case of the actor.
Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered CBI investigation into Sushant Singh Rajput death case, thereby bringing cheer to the late actor’s family, friends and several others who have been demanding the same.
The apex court was hearing the row over the complaint filed by Sushant Singh’s father in Bihar against actor Rhea Chakraborty who had asked the court to transfer the FIR from Patna to Mumbai.
The Supreme Court, pronouncing its verdict, observed that the FIR registered at Patna was correct and added that Maharashtra refused the option to challenge the order. It added that the Bihar government is competent to request CBI for probe into the sensational case.
