New Delhi/IBNS: As per the Bihar government's recommendation, the probe into the death of Hindi film actor Sushant Singh Rajput has been handed over to the central investigation agency, media reports said.

The central government on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that the case will now be probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The 34-year-old star was found dead at his apartment in suburban Bandra on June 14. Since then there has been a demand to hand over the case to the CBI. 

Sushant's father KK Singh, after talking to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, demanded a CBI inquiry into the matter, following which Kumar sent a recommendation for a CBI inquiry to the Center.
