Rhea's Plea For Transfer Of Probe From Patna To Mumbai: SC Directs All Parties To File Their Replies
Sushant Singh Rajput's father KK Singh had registered an FIR against the late actor's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty in Patna under various sections including 'abetment to suicide'. Following this, Rhea had filed a petition in Supreme Court seeking transfer of FIR lodged in Patna to Mumbai on grounds of jurisdiction.
The plea stated that the FIR in Patna alleging abetment to suicide charges against Rhea Chakraborty is nothing but an act of "connivance" between the State of Bihar and Sushant's father.

ANI tweeted, "Rhea Chakraborty's petition seeking direction for transfer of investigation from Patna to Mumbai in #SushanthSinghRajput death case: Supreme Court directs all parties to file their respective replies within three days. Further hearing in the matter to be held after a week."

All concerned have to file their replies in the meantime. State of Maharashtra is directed to place all the investigation steps taken in the case before the SC.
