New Delhi, August 30 The Congress on Sunday questioned the "alacrity" exhibited by the Centre in ordering a CBI probe into the Sushant Singh Rajput case and sought investigation into alleged BJP links of Sandeep Ssingh, producer of a biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is under the scanner in a related drugs case.

A Bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra will pronounce its verdict against Bhushan, who faces simple imprisonment of up to six months or with a fine of up to Rs 2,000 or with both as punishment under Contempt of Court Act. On August 25, the top court was urged by senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan to show "judicial statesmanship" and not make Bhushan a "martyr" by punishing him for contempt over his tweets criticising the judiciary, after the activist-lawyer rejected fresh suggestions from the court for an apology.
