Even after the Central government's approval for CBI Inquiry in Sushant Singh Rajput's case, Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut has lashed out on the Bihar government and called the entire proceedings in Sushant Singh Rajput's case scripted.
Quoted by India Today, Sanjay Raut said, "The Attorney General said that the decision has already been taken. What happened so sudden? The matter is being probed by the Mumbai police. The investigations are not complete. Why does Bihar Police come into picture? What does Bihar government has to do with this? The crime has taken place in Mumbai. Suddenly the matter gains momentum. It is raised in Bihar assembly, within 24 hours it is transferred to CBI. I think the screenplay has already been written. According to it, the demand was made to transfer the case to CBI. Some people in Bihar asked Ssushant's father to file an FIR in Bihar. If this was all pre-decided by those in power, why should we react to it?"
"'This is not about hiding anything. This is the matter of the prestige of the Mumbai Police. Mumbai Police is world-renowned. Everything that is happening seems all pre-decided," Raut added.

"This is an attempt to defame the Maharashtra government. Don’t similar incidents take place in other state like UP, Bihar or Gujarat? Should all such cases be transferred to CBI? What is the kind of message you want to send?"
Sanjay Raut added that Mumbai Police will continue its investigation in the case as it's their right. He said, "Sushant was a Mumbaikar. He earned name and fame here. Where was Bihar then? Where was Bihar Police, Where was Nitish Kumar? Mumbai gave him everything to him. Now, you rise up against us and defame us. What kind of politics is this?"
Note, the CBI can only begin their investigation after the Supreme Court gives its verdict to the PIL filed by Rhea Chakraborty.
