The Supreme court has given 3 days’ time to the Maharashtra govt and the police to place on record the details of their investigation in actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death probe. The matter will be taken up next week. The apex court has also refused to grant protection to Rhea Chakraborty from coercive action.
The Bombay High Court adjourned a PIL seeking to transfer Sushant’s death probe to the CBI to Friday. The Chief Justice of Bombay HC Dipankar Dutta directed the State and Central govt to provide a copy of the petition to the court. A single-judge bench of the Supreme Court led by Justice Hrishikesh Roy heard the transfer petition filed by actor Rhea Chakraborty seeking to transfer FIR registered in Patna against her in Sushant Singh Rajput suicide case to Mumbai. While Senior Advocate Shyam Divan represented Rhea Chakraborty, Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi appeared for the Bihar government.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, on Wednesday, claimed that there was a ‘conspiracy against the Thackeray family’ and said that dirty politics was being played over the death probe of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Earlier, Sanjay Raut had said that all the steps taken by the Bihar government are being taken in light of polls in the state. Terming Bihar Police’s investigation as ‘interference’, Raut said that Sushant was just born in Patna, he achieved everything in Maharashtra and hence it makes sense for Mumbai Police to probe his death.
