CBI to unearth cause of Sushant’s death
New Delhi: Good news as expected from Supreme Court comes on Wednesday as the apex court ordered CBI investigation into Sushant’s Singh Rajput death. Notably, the Centre has already allowed the central probe agency to investigate the senstational case.
Directing CBI to investigate the case, the top court asked Maharashtra Police to assist the probe agency in the matter and to hand over all the evidence collected so far in the case to CBI.
The court also observed that the FIR lodged in Patna by KK Singh was “lawful”, adding that Maharashtra refused the option to challenge the order.
“Bihar government had the right to refer the Patna FIR lodged by Rajput’s father to CBI. The probe agency will be competent to probe not only Patna FIR but any other FIR related to Rajput’s death case,” the court ruled.
Justice Roy also said that Maharashtra government must comply with the orders since it is a court-ordered probe.
Hailing the court verdict, Vikas Singh, lawyer of Sushant’s father, said that it was a victory for the actor’s family. “This is a victory for Sushant Singh Rajput’s family. SC ruled on all points in our favour. The Court also clearly said that the FIR registered at Patna was correct,” he said.
A month later, Sushant’s father KK Singh lodged a police complaint in Patna against the late actor’s girlfriend Rhea and her family, accusing them of cheating Sushant financially and harassing him mentally, driving him to end his life. C
