Mumbai: After a lot of political drama in the death probe of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput on Thursday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a case against the actor Rhea Chakraborty and five others.
The CBI took up the matter after the consent by the Bihar government to probe the death of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. KK Singh, father of Rajput has filed an FIR against Rhea and her family members with Bihar Police. The same complaint is transferred to the CBI after the Central government recommended the case to the agency.
According to the Bihar Police On July 25, the late actor Sushant’s father, Singh has registered a case in Rajiv Nagar under various Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 341 (wrongful restrains ), 342 (punishment for wrongful confinement) , 380 (theft) , 406 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating), 306 (abetment of suicide), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy ).
Singh has alleged in his FIR that Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her family members had misused the closeness with the actor. The deceased Sushant’s live-in partner had forcibly stopped his son from attending phone calls. Not limited to just that misusing the closeness she had allegedly transferred huge sums of about Rs.15 crore to some unknown accounts and confined him in such a way that he was totally in depression.
The sources from the CBI said that the elite special investigation team which has probed the cases of AgustaWestland chopper deal and of fugitive business tycoon Vijay Mallya has been assigned the case.
Meanwhile the Advocate, Satish Maneshinde who is appearing in petition of Rhea in the Supreme Court on transfer of FIR from Bihar Police to Mumbai Police in a Press statement said,
“The Bihar Government transferred a case with which it had NO Jurisdiction to investigate, to CBI instead of The Mumbai Police, which is the legal position. The Hon’ble Supreme Court is seized of the issue pursuant to the Transfer Petition filed by Rhea Chakraborty. The SC has directed all parties to file their replies and Mumbai Police is directed to place the report of investigations.”
He further adds,
“Pending the said proceedings the CBI has registered and continued the illegality which was perpetrated at the hands of Bihar Police. CBI being a premier investigative agency in the country should desist from taking any further steps pending the SC proceedings. Apart from the same unless the Maharashtra Government consents to CBI investigating the case … it would be totally illegal and beyond any known legal principles, affecting the Federal Structure of the Nation..”
