Adding another layer to the debate encompassing the demise of actor, Sushant Singh Rajput, the Center has now acknowledged the Bihar government’s proposal for a CBI probe into the case. This was informed to the Supreme Court by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta today.
The court was hearing Rhea Chakraborthy’s plea looking for transfer of a FIR documented against her by Sushant Singh Rajput’s father from Patna to Mumbai and a stay on the investigation by the Bihar police.
The request documented by Rhea expresses the FIR in Patna asserting abetment to suicide charges against her is only a demonstration of “conspiracy” between the State of Bihar and the father of the late Actor.
Justice Hrishikesh Roy stated: “Rajput was a skilled artist who died under unordinary conditions. In the event that there is culpability involved, it should be examined.”
He added: “Everybody has a sentiment about prominent cases, however we will continue as per law. Let the Maharashtra government react to what Solicitor General Tushar Mehta has submitted.
Senior Advocate Shyam Divan, showing up for Rhea, argued that a defensive request be passed for the petitioner. But, Senior Advocate Vikas Singh, showing up for the Rajput family, brought up criticisms and presented that no defensive request ought to be passed as it could prompt altering of proof.
Justice Roy was not satisfied with the isolating of the Bihar police in Maharashtra and stated: “The quarantining of the Bihar police doesn’t send a good message. The imprisonment ..does it send a good message? Particularly when the case has gathered so much media attention? State of Maharashtra needs to guarantee that everything is done in proper manner.”
The bench has allowed three days to all parties to gather the documents. State of Maharashtra has been asked to update on condition of the investigation by Mumbai police. Matter will be recorded one week from now.
