Solicitor General Tushar Mehta had said that the decision of the CBI inquiry is correct. Mehta had also questioned Mumbai Police’s investigation.
New Delhi| CBI will investigate the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. The Supreme Court gave this order on Wednesday. The court said, “Maharashtra government will not be able to challenge the CBI probe. The FIR lodged in Patna was correct.”
Vikas Singh, advocate for Sushant’s father, said, “The Supreme Court has also ordered that if any further FIR is registered in this case, the CBI will investigate it. We hope to get justice very soon.” Reportedly, the family is happy with the decision.
Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty had appealed to transfer Patna’s investigation to Mumbai. On August 11, the Supreme Court in this case had sought a written reply from all the parties while keeping the judgment reserve.
Rhea had said that it is illegal to transfer the case to CBI on the basis of the investigation being done in Bihar. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta had said that the decision of the CBI inquiry is correct. Mehta had also questioned the manner in which Mumbai Police conducted the investigation. He asked the Mumbai Police did not register any FIR, then how did they send summons to 56 people and record their statements?
Mehta had also argued that ED has already registered a case in Sushant case. When a central agency has started an investigation, then there should be no objection to other agencies conducting investigations as well.
