New Delhi: Supreme Court ordered CBI to probe into the Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicidal case on Wednesday. The Supreme Court asking the Mumbai police to handover all evidences to the CBI.

The Supreme Court also said the FIR registered in Patna based on a complaint filed by Sushant Singh’s father was correct and Bihar was competent to ask the CBI to investigate the case. Supreme Court said that a “fair, competent and impartial probe” is the need of the hour to stop speculation.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend actress Rhea Chakraborty, who is facing allegations behind the Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide, she plead the Supreme Court to transfer the FIR registered by Sushant Singh family in Patna to Mumbai. The Supreme Court said the Mumbai police registered only accidental death report, it had limited investigation powers. The Bihar police, however, registered a “full-fledged FIR” which already stands referred to the CBI, the court said.

The Court also said “Sushant Singh Rajput was a talented actor in the Mumbai film world and died well before his full potential could be realized. His family, friends and admirers are keenly waiting for the outcome of the investigation”.  The outcome would be a measure of justice for the actor’s father, who lost his only son, said Supreme Court.

Maharashtra has been asked to cooperate with the CBI probe and provide all assistance. If any other case was registered in connection with Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, it would also be probed by the CBI, the top court said, noting that Rhea Chakraborty never objected to a CBI probe. Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said the CBI will get full coordination from the state. “We welcome the verdict of the Supreme Court. The CBI will get full cooperation from us. The Supreme Court judgement has an observation where the Mumbai Police conducted the investigation professionally”.

After one month later, Sushant Singh Rajput’s father KK Singh filed a case in Bihar accusing Rhea Chakraborty and her family of cheating his son financially and mentally harassing him.

The Bihar Police complaint led to investigations by the CBI and Enforcement Directorate into the actor’s financial status and his father’s complaint that crores were taken out of his account. Actress Rhea Chakraborty in her argument in the Supreme Court she denied Sushant Singh’s father’s allegations as “total nonsense”. She had said the move to supersede the Mumbai Police investigation had become about politics ahead of the Bihar election.

We believe that all those involved in the dastardly crime will be brought to justice, said Sushant Singh family, welcoming the Court order in a statement.  Soon after the court order, reactions poured in from Bihar and also from the film industry. “We welcome the decision of Supreme Court to allow CBI to continue with its probe of Sushant death case on the basis of FIR filed in Bihar. Our stand vindicated,” tweeted Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi, an indication of the political impact of the case ahead of elections in Bihar.
