Mumbai:The Bihar police team, which is here to investigate an "abetment to suicide" case related to the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, on Friday
sought assistance from their counterparts in Mumbai to probe the matter, an official of the city police said.
The visiting team on Friday evening submitted a written application seeking assistance from the Mumbai police in probing the case, he said.
Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) Gupteshwar Pandey said that his department has requested Mumbai Police to facilitate its cops who are there for an investigation in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.
"We have requested them (Mumbai Police) to facilitate our people," Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey said on being asked about allegations of "Mumbai Police not providing vehicles to Bihar Police".
Members of the Bihar police team visited the DCP (Crime) office in suburban Andheri and submitted the application, the official said.
As a large number of media persons had gathered at the spot, Mumbai police personnel took the officers of the Bihar police in their vehicle and dropped them at a safe place nearby, he said.
A video of the Bihar police team being taken into the vehicle surfaced on some social media sites and messaging apps.
Asked about it, the official said the local police were only ensuring safety of the visiting team. The four-member Bihar police team arrived here on Wednesday to probe the `abetment to suicide' case registered against Rajput's friend, actress Rhea Chakraborty, and others in Patna.
