The
Central
Bureau
of
Investigation
(CBI)
had
opposed
an
FIR
registered
against
late
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
sisters,
Priyanka
Singh
and
Meetu
Singh
on
actress
Rhea
Chakraborty's
complaint
in
the
Bombay
High
Court,
and
labelled
it
as
"vitiated
and
bad
in
law'.
In
the
latest
development
in
this
matter,
the
Mumbai
Police
told
HC
on
Monday
(November
2,
2020),
that
they
were
"duty-bound"
to
file
an
FIR
against
Sushant's
sisters
as
Rhea's
complaint
against
them
"disclosed
commission
of
offence".
The
Mumbai
Police
also
dismissed
the
allegations
that
it
was
trying
to
damage
the
reputation
of
the
petitioners
or
any
deceased
person.
As
per
a
report
in
PTI,
the
Mumbai
Police
filed
an
affidavit
in
the
HC
seeking
dismissal
of
the
petition
filed
by
Rajput's
sisters
Priyanka
Singh
and
Meetu
Singh,
to
quash
the
FIR
lodged
against
them
for
alleged
forgery
and
fabrication
of
a
medical
prescription
for
their
brother.
The
affadivit
read,
"The
FIR
was
registered
based
on
the
information
provided
by
the
first
informant
(Rhea
Chakraborty),
disclosing
commission
of
offence," further
adding
that
"a
fake
medical
prescription
was
sent
by
the
petitioners
with
the
help
of
a
Delhi-based
doctor
wherein
medicines
for
anxiety
were
prescribed
to
Rajput".
"This
may
have
led
to
administration
of
psychotropic
substances
without
actual
examination
of
Rajput
by
the
doctor,
and
may
have
caused
and
contributed
in
his
suicidal
death.
This
version
of
the
informant
disclosed
cognisable
offences
warranting
investigation
and
requiring
no
preliminary
enquiry.
Therefore,
the
Mumbai
police
were
duty-bound
to
register
the
FIR,"
the
Mumbai
police
told
the
HC,
stated
a
report
in
NDTV.
Last
week,
Rhea
Chakraborty
had
asked
the
Bombay
HC
not
to
dismiss
the
case
against
his
two
sisters.
A
day
later,
the
CBI
said
the
allegations
by
the
actress
against
the
actor's
sisters
are
"presumptive
and
speculative" and
could
well
have
been
part
of
the
ongoing
investigation.
However,
the
Mumbai
Police
clarified
in
Bombay
HC
on
Monday
that
it
is
not
trying
to
"influence
or
derail"
the
CBI
probe
in
the
actor's
death
case.
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
was
found
dead
in
his
Bandra
residence
on
June
14,
2020.
A
month
after
his
demise,
the
late
actor's
father
KK
Singh
filed
a
complaint
against
Sushant's
actress-girlfriend
Rhea
Chakraborty
under
multiple
sections
including
'abetment
to
suicide' and
'cheating.'
Soon,
the
CBI
took
over
Sushant's
death
case
and
began
its
investigations
along
with
the
Enforcement
Directorate
(ED)
and
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB).
