Earlier
today,
the
Supreme
Court
handed
over
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
case
to
the
Central
Bureau
of
Investigation
(CBI)
and
said
that
the
agency
will
also
investigate
any
other
FIR
related
to
the
case.
The
apex
court's
verdict
was
hailed
by
Sushant's
family,
fans
and
celebrities
who
had
been
pressing
for
a
CBI
inquiry
in
Sushant's
death
case.
Sushant's
family
have
now
released
an
official
statement
in
which
they
welcomed
the
ruling
of
the
apex
court,
and
thanked
everyone
who
stood
by
them
in
their
demand
for
CBI
inquiry
in
the
case.
Sushant's
family
thanked
Bihar
Chief
Minister
Nitish
Kumar
for
"setting
the
wheel
of
justice
in
motion." With
the
CBI
now
officially
investigating
Sushant's
death
case,
the
late
actor's
family
believes
that
all
those
involved
in
the
dastardly
crime
will
be
brought
to
justice.
The
statement
read-
"We
Sushant's
family,
thank
our
friends,
well-wishers,
media
and
millions
of
fans
worldwide
for
their
love
for
Sushant
and
support
for
us.
We
are
particularly
thankful
to
Shri
Nitish
Kumar,
Hon'ble
Chief
Minister,
Bihar
for
setting
the
wheel
of
justice
in
motion.
Now
that
the
country's
premier
investigating
agency
has
taken
over,
we
believe
that
all
those
involved
in
the
dastardly
crime
will
be
brought
to
justice.
We
believe
that
public
trust
in
institutions
is
important.
Today's
development
has
reaffirmed
our
faith
in
India
as
a
robust
democracy.
We
love
our
country
more
than
ever."
The
apex
court's
order
came
after
a
petition
filed
by
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
girlfriend
Rhea
Chakaborty
seeking
to
transfer
the
FIR
to
Mumbai,
registered
against
her
in
Patna
for
alleged
'abetment
to
suicide'
in
connection
with
Sushant's
death
case.
The
SC
has
given
3
days'
time
to
Maharashtra
government
and
Mumbai
police
to
submit
details
about
their
investigation
in
Sushant's
death
case.
Reacting
to
SC's
verdict,
Maharashtra
Home
Minister
Anil
Deshmukh
told
ANI,
''The
Supreme
Court
verdict
has
come,
once
we
get
a

of
the
order

will
comment
on
it."
