CBI to tackle Sushanth Case

The Supreme Court today said the truth behind the death of "gifted and talented artist" Sushant Singh Rajput should come out, even as the Centre informed that it has accepted the recommendation of Bihar government for a CBI probe in the matter.

The apex court, which posted the matter for hearing next week, also directed Mumbai Police to place before it the status report of the probe conducted so far in Rajput's death case.


Sushant Singh Rajput, aged 34, was found hanging from the ceiling of his apartment in suburban Bandra in Mumbai on June 14 and since then Mumbai police has been probing the case keeping in mind various angles. At the outset, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, told the court that the Bihar government's recommendation has been accepted and the case has been transferred to the CBI.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had recommended CBI probe to the Centre in the sensational case at the request of Rajput's father. On the other hand, Maharashtra has been opposed to transferring the probe to CBI. Rhea Chakraborty, who had once allegedly tweeted to the Union Home Minister seeking CBI probe into the matter, had on Tuesday opposed the Bihar government's move through her lawyer Satish Maneshinde by saying that the decision has "no legal sanctity".


Vikas Singh, Sushant Singh Rajput's father had lodged an FIR at Rajiv Nagar police station in Patna against Rhea and six others on July 25, including her family members, accusing them of abetting the actor's suicide. In her plea filed in the apex court, Rhea Chakraborty has alleged that Rajput's father has used his "influence" in roping her in FIR lodged at Patna in Bihar accusing her of abetment of suicide of his son. The actress has said in her plea that she was in a live-in relationship with Rajput and has been in deep trauma due the death of the actor and moreover getting rape and death threats.
