Supreme Court today said the CBI will investigate actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death
New Delhi:
The Supreme Court today said the CBI will investigate actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death and asked the Mumbai police to hand over all evidence collected so far to the investigating agency. The court also said the FIR registered in Bihar based on the complaint filed by Sushant Singh’s father was correct and Bihar was competent to ask the CBI to investigate the case. Actor Rhea Chakraborty, Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend, had asked the Supreme Court to transfer the FIR or First Information Report registered by his family in Patna to Mumbai. Sushant Singh Rajput, 34, was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14. More than a month later, Sushant Singh Rajput’s father KK Singh filed a case in Bihar accusing Rhea Chakraborty and her family of cheating his son financially and mentally harassing him.
Here the updates on Sushant Singh Rajput case:
Bihar Minister Sanjay Kumar Jha on Wednesday said Mumbai Police was only looking to close the Sushant Singh Rajput’s death cases, adding that people will ensure that the investigation goes into the right hands and the late actor’s family get justice.
“What appears is that the Mumbai Police was trying to close the case. It was only after Sushant Singh Rajput’s family filed an FIR, a serious probe started. The people wish that the investigation goes into the right hands. We will ensure that the family gets justice,” National General Secretary JD(U) Jha told ANI.
Lok Janshakti Party chief Chirag Paswan, who has long advocated a probe in the case outside Mumbai, said he hopes that order will bring relief for the Sushant Rajput’s family.
“Not only the truth will surface now but those name will also come out who were behind disrupting the investigation in the case. I hope the Court’s order has brought relief to Sushant Singh Rajput’s family,” Lok Janshakti Party chief Chirag Paswan tweeted.
“SC directs CBI to investigate Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. May the truth always prevail #Prayers,” actor Akshay Kumar tweeted.
