New Delhi: Actress Rhea Chakraborty has filed a plea in the Supreme Court seeking transfer of an FIR lodged against her in Patna to Mumbai, where probe in the death case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput is going on.
In her plea, Rhea Chakraborty has also sought stay on probe by Bihar Police on the FIR lodged by Rajput’s father till disposal of her plea in top court.
The move came a day after Rajput’s father K K Singh lodged a police complaint in Patna against Chakraborty and six others, including her family members, accusing them of abetting the actor’s suicide.
After Sushant Singh Rajput’s father lodged a complaint against Rhea for ‘abetment to suicide’ and a FIR was filed, the focus has shifted from alleged nepotism and favouritism in the Hindi film industry to the Bengaluru-born actress.
Sushant Singh Rajput’s family, who live in Patna, have accused her of abetment to suicide, alleging that she cheated him financially and mentally harassed him.
The First Information Report (FIR) also names six others including her family members. A four-member team of Patna Police has already left for Mumbai to probe the case.
This is the first time the family have gone public with their accusations. The 34-year-old actor had died by suicide last month, the police had said, reigniting a huge debate about mental health.
