The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the Bihar Government’s order to transfer the probe in the case related to the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput to CBI.
A single bench of Justice Hrishikesh Roy held that Bihar police had jurisdiction to register FIR with respect to the suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput at the complaint of the actor’s father, and held the trasnfer to CBI valid.
The Court has directed Maharsahtra police to hand over the case files to CBI and to render necessary assistance.
“It is court ordered CBI investigation. Maharashtra police must comply and assist”, ordered the bench.
The Court has also directed CBI to also look into any other cases registered in future in relation to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
