Rhea Chakraborty had filed an FIR against Sushant Singh Rajput’s sisters Priyanka Singh and Mitu Singh along with Dr Tarun Kumar.
She had alleged charges of abetting suicide, cheating, forgery and fabrication of medical prescription and criminal conspiracy.
Sushant’s sisters had challenged this by moving Bombay High Court, seeking to quash the FIR registered against them. Today, the Bombay High Court announced their verdict about Rhea’s FIR.
As per News18 report, the division bench of justices SS Shinde and MS Karnik pronounced the order – the case against Mitu Singh was quashed but the other sister, Priyanka, DID NOT get any relief. Priyanka will probably be investigated by CBI now since the agency is handling all cases related to Sushant’s death.
“There is prima facie case found against Priyanka Singh and there should not be any impediment against investigation against her,” the court said in its verdict.
ABP News reported that Priyanka Singh will be moving Supreme Court against the verdict.
What is Rhea’s FIR against the SSR Sisters?
On September 7, 2020, Rhea had filed an FIR against Sushant’s sisters Priyanka and Mitu Singh, as well as Dr Tarun Kumar, who is a cardiologist from Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in Delhi. She had accused them of forging and procuring ‘a fake medical prescription’ for Sushant.
As per India Today report, accusing them of conspiracy, Rhea had alleged that the fake prescription obtained by SSR’s sisters contained banned medication – that was given to Sushant without supervising dose and quantity. Rhea had claimed that it may have caused a chronic anxiety attack and resulted in his suicidal death.
Moreover, Senior counsel Devdutt Kamat who represented the Mumbai Police in the matter had also earlier said that Priyanka Singh procured the prescription without any consultation between the doctor and the patient.
“The police has evidence to show that an unidentified man went to the OPD of the Ram Manohar Lohia hospital on June 8, 2020, and took a token and later a prescription from the accused doctor Tarun Kumar,” Devdutt Kamat had said, as per NDTV.
