Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case LIVE Updates | The Supreme Court is scheduled to pronounce its verdict on a plea filed by Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty who has sought transfer of an FIR, lodged against her at Patna for allegedly abetting the suicide of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, to Mumbai. As per the cause list uploaded on the apex court website, a bench of Justice Hrishikesh Roy would deliver the judgement. The Centre had earlier informed the top court that it has accepted the recommendation of Bihar government for CBI probe into the FIR lodged at Patna by Rajput’s father, Krishna Kishore Singh, who has accused Chakraborty and six others of various offences including abetment of suicide.

The top court, which had reserved its judgement on the plea on August 11, was told by the Bihar government that “political clout” has not allowed Mumbai Police to even register an FIR in Rajput’s case. Maharashtra government had argued that Bihar completely lacks jurisdiction in the matter. Chakraborty’s counsel had told the bench that probe by Mumbai Police has “proceeded quite substantially” as it has recorded statements of 56 persons in the case. Senior advocate Vikas Singh, representing Rajput’s father had countered submissions advanced by Chakraborty’s counsel and said that they have “no faith” in Maharashtra Police.

The Bihar government in its submission to the apex court said, “It is apparent that it is on account of political pressure in the State of Maharashtra that neither the FIR has been registered by the Mumbai Police nor did they extend any cooperation to Bihar Police in discharging their obligation to conduct investigation expeditiously.”
