New Delhi, Aug 4 Hours after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said the Bihar government has decided to recommend a CBI inquiry in actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death case, Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi said the move showed it was merely politics for the Bihar chief minister. In a tweet, Priyanka Chaturvedi also said that the decision for a CBI probe can only be taken by the Maharashtra government. She said that the Bihar police or the government has no locus standi on this matter. Slamming Nitish Kumar over his statement, Priyanka Chaturvedi also said the Bihar chief minister's statement was not on the basis of the constitutional legalities or getting Sushant Singh Rajput justice. The Shiv Sena leader said, "The statement from Bihar CM as being reported by media, if true, shows it is merely politics for him¬ basis of constitutional legalities or getting Sushant justice. Law&Order is state subject, CBI decision can only be taken by Maha Govt. Bihar police&govt have no locus standi." Actor Rhea Chakrabortys lawyer has also said the Bihar government cannot recommend a CBI probe in actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death when police from that state do not have any jurisdiction to even investigate the case. There cannot be a transfer of a case that had no legal basis to begin with for the Bihar police to get involved.
