CBI picks up cook Neeraj
In the latest development to the CBI probe into Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case, the actor’s cook Neeraj has been picked by the SIT team for investigation on Friday morning. Neeraj was picked up from Pali Hill area of Mumbai and is currently with the Special Investigation officials in the city.

Neeraj is the first person to be grilled by the Central probe agency as he was present in Sushant’s flat on the day the actor was allegedly found hanging in his bedroom. In his first-hand account of the incident, a Republic TV exclusive chat with the cook had earlier revealed how the late actor’s health had deteriorated months before his death. As Neeraj’s statements hold a lot of prominence to the case, he is the first to be interrogated by the CBI SIT team, led by SP Nupur Prasad.
