Actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s father K.K. Singh and the Bihar government have filed a caveat plea in the Supreme Court seeking to be heard before any order is passed on actor Rhea Chakraborty’s plea. The Bihar government had opposed Rhea’s interim prayer that probe by its state police to be stayed till the SC decides on her plea.

 On 29 July, Rhea had moved the Supreme Court seeking to transfer the investigation to Mumbai, where investigations in connection with the actor’s death are already underway.

Rhea in her plea has said that she is innocent. Mumbai Police had questioned her for hours and has not attributed any culpable role to her so far. Rhea claims that she joined the proceedings in Mumbai and fully cooperated with the investigation.

She claims that the case filed in Patna against her is entirely misconceived and has been filed only to harass her. Her plea states that a close relative of the deceased is an ADG in Haryana Police and the possibility of influencing the FIR filed in Patna and future proceeding can’t be ruled out. Rhea has claimed that she was in a year-long relationship with Sushant and is herself in trauma due to the incident.

On Tuesday, Sushant Singh Rajput’s father lodged an FIR against actor Rhea Chakraborty and five others in Patna.
