Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has urged the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) to submit their report on Sushant Singh Rajput death case at the earliest.

"It has been more than 5 months since the investigation began but CBI has not revealed if actor Sushant Singh Rajput was murdered or he died by suicide. I request CBI to reveal finding of the investigation at the earliest," Deshmukh said while addressing the media on Saturday.

Sushant was found dead at his Bandra residence in Mumbai on June 14. His death was earlier registered as the case of suicide and Mumbai Police carried out the initial investigation into the death and confirmed the actor died by suicide. However, his father later filed a case against late actor's girlfriend and actor Rhea Chakraborty and her kins for abetment of suicide. The case was then transferred to Bihar Police and subsequently Union Home Minister Amit Shah had ordered an CBI inquiry into the case.

Meanwhile, following the apex court's order, the CBI approached the forensic department of the AIIMS Delhi for re-evaluating actor's autopsy. The forensic team submitted its report to the CBI while asserting that there are no certain signs that could prove that the actor was murdered.

Apart from CBI, Narcotics Control Bureau(NCB) is also investigating a drug probe into the case that came into light while investigating actor's death.
