"Now the government there (Maharashtra) has changed hope the truth comes out. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has also been formed to investigate the entire situation," said Gupteshwar Pandey while talking to ANI.
Former Director-General of Police Gupteshwar Pandey was in-charge of the probe team of Sushant Singh Rajput's death case before turning into a religious preacher.
He further alleged that during the investigation the Mumbai Police did not cooperate with the team of officers sent from Bihar.
"Mumbai police's behaviour towards a team of officers sent from Bihar was unethical and it was then that I believed they were hiding something. An IPS officer was sent who was kept under house arrest," said Gupteshwar Panda while talking to ANI.
He said that the Crime Branch Investigation (CBI) should share the details with SIT so that justice is served.

"My team and I did not get enough time for investigation. If I would have got 15 days the case would have been solved and the case would not have been handled the way it is being done," said Gupteshwar Pandey.
