Vikas Singh, the lawyer of Sushant Singh Rajput’s father KK Singh, has said the family wants the Patna Police to probe the case of the actor’s suicide, while adding that they have not demanded a CBI investigation yet.

While speaking to ANI, Singh, who is also the former additional solicitor general, said, “FIR has been registered now as the family was in shock and the Mumbai Police wasn’t registering an FIR, but forcing them to give names of big production houses and get them involved. It (the investigation) was heading in a different direction.”

Patna Police was a little hesitant but CM Nitish Kumar & Minister Sanjay Jha explained the matter to them and FIR was registered. We want that the matter be investigated by Patna Police.
