The CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) was investigating on Sushant Singh Rajput's death after the actor's untimely demise in June 2020. Some foul play was suspected in his death, however, recently, the CBI has closed the case and given a clean chit to Rhea Chakraborty , her brother Showik Chakraborty in this matter. The CBI has dismissed the possibility of any foul play in his death.
Now, as per the latest update on the matter, the CBI has sought for some more time for the hearing of the closure report in this matter, on Tuesday night. While it has seeked more time, the CBI has also put in an application to transfer the case to a court at Esplanade in South Mumbai. So far, the proceedings were happening at the Bandra court since the case was originally registered there.
Rhea Chakraborty lodged a complaint against Rajput’s sisters and a Delhi-based doctor, Tarun Kumar of conspiring to procure and administer a fake prescription to the late actor. The prescription, she alleged, contained psychotropic substances—clonazepam and chlordiazepoxide—which fall under Items 36 and 38 of the NDPS Act. However, the CBI has now closed the case.
On Tuesday, when the matter came up for hearing, both the CBI’s Investigating Officer and the Public Prosecutor informed the court that they would be applying before the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) for the transfer of the case. “We are going to apply before the Chief Judicial Magistrate for transfer of this matter to the designated Court for CBI." The hearing has now been adjourned to July 3.
