The Centre has said that the transfer of Patna FIR to the CBI in the Sushant Singh Rajput case makes it 'a necessary and proper party' to Rhea's plea pending in the apex court.
Rhea Chakraborty had filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking for the FIR by Bihar police against her in the Sushant Singh Rajput case, to be transferred to the Mumbai police.
Bihar govt also tells SC that Mumbai Police did not provide Patna Police with any documents, such as inquest report, post-mortem report, CCTV footage etc, despite several requests.
Actor Rhea Chakraborty, who will be questioned on 7 August, was summoned by the ED on the basis of a Bihar Police FIR filed by Sushant Singh Rajput's father.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar recently said he recommends a CBI inquiry in the Sushant Singh Rajput's case after the actor's father made a request for it.
Patna Superintendent of Police Vinay Tiwari, who arrived in Mumbai Sunday in connection with Sushant Singh Rajput’s death probe, was told to be under home quarantine.
Sushant Singh Rajput's father accused Chakraborty of abetting Rajput's suicide, who died on 14 June. An FIR has been filed against her and others in Patna.
India’s foreign policy today is driven less by Western alignment or global liberalism and more by domestic political imperatives — economic, ideological, and electoral.
