The
Central
Bureau
of
Investigation
officially
took
over
the
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
death
case
on
Wednesday.
The
investigating
agency
registered
an
FIR
against
Rhea
Chakraborty
and
five
others
in
connection
to
the
case.
Agency
officials
said
that
they
stepped
in
to
investigate
the
case
after
the
centre
handed
the
case
to
them
on
the
recommendation
of
Bihar
government.
They
also
said
that
they
are
in
touch
with
the
Bihar
Police,
which
had
first
registered
an
FIR
in
Sushant's
death
case.
The
FIR
registered
by
the
CBI
will
be
uploaded
on
their
website
soon.
The
CBI's
Special
Investigating
Team
(SIT),
which
is
currently
investigating
Vijay
Mallya's
bank
fraud
case,
will
also
be
handling
Sushant's
case.
The
CBI
has
taken
over
the
case
amidst
a
tug
of
war
between
the
Maharashtra
government
and
the
Bihar
government
over
jurisdiction
of
the
case.
Dissatisfied
with
the
Mumbai
Police's
handling
of
the
case,
Sushant's
father
and
his
lawyer
Vikas
Singh
had
filed
an
FIR
with
the
Patna
Police
on
July
26,
alleging
Rhea
Chakraborty,
her
family
members
and
two
others
of
abetting
to
suicide.
When
the
Bihar
Police
stepped
in
and
a
team
of
four
police
officials
from
Bihar
were
sent
to
Mumbai
to
investigate,
many
lapses
in
the
Mumbai
Police's
investigation
of
the
case
began
to
be
uncovered.
Due
to
this,
Sushant's
family
felt
that
it
is
best
that
CBI
takes
over
the
case.
This
was
recommended
even
by
Bihar
Chief
Minister
Nitish
Kumar.
Meanwhile,
the
Enforcement
Directorate
(ED)
is
investigating
possible
money
laundering
angles
with
relation
to
the
case.
The
ED
has
summoned
Rhea
on
August
8,
and
will
be
questioning
her
regarding
the
cheating
allegation
made
in
the
FIR.
