While CBI has backed SSR’s sisters’ petition to quash Rhea Chakraborty’s FIR against them, the Mumbai Police has sought dismissal of their petition.
Sushant Singh Rajput’s sisters, Priyanka Singh and Mitu Singh have now alleged in their rejoinder to Rhea’s reply that she has put forth a ‘moonshine defense’.
On September 7, the Bandra Police had registered the FIR which accused the sisters and Delhi doctor Tarun Kumar (Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital) of “alleged offences of conspiracy, cheating and forgery…for fabricating medical prescription” for Sushant’s “anxiety’’ on June 8, without his actual examination.
The Mumbai police had also said, “The FIR also seeks investigation into possibility of deterioration of SSR’s mental health and eventual suicide pursuant to the conspiracy.”
As per TOI, the sisters have alleged that the case against them is based on a “concocted story’’ and “unfounded allegations, unsubstantiated facts, speculations and a misleading complaint.’’
They have further said that Rhea “deliberately concealed’’ a letter she had herself written on September 14 to the police in which she “conceded that an FIR cannot be registered under section 306 (abetment of suicide) IPC.’’
Indian Express report states that the sisters have also refuted allegations that the prescribed medicines come under psychotropic substances as per the NDPS Act!
“The drugs that have sought to be allegedly given by Dr Tarun Kumar are not banned drugs, in fact, a notification was issued in April, this year, which clearly permits the prescription of such medicine through telemedicine.”
Moreover, the sisters have also pointed out that there is not even a single allegation in Rhea’s complaint that any such alleged drug was actually administered to Sushant.
They concluded by saying that the FIR was filed “maliciously’’ to “wreak vengeance’’ and harass them due to a “personal grudge’’ by making “preposterous allegations.’’
The sisters have also sought a probe into Rhea’s ‘malicious activities’ and urged the court to grant them damages under public law remedy for ‘malicious prosecution’.
