New Delhi: The mysterious suicidal death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput became a triangular war in the Supreme Court between the Mumbai police on one side and Bihar and CBI on the other as the Maharashtra told the Apex Court that the Central Agency has no jurisdiction to probe the incident as the State had not given consent for investigation by it.

Since the incident has happened in Mumbai, the CBI FIR should be treated as a Zero FIR and transfer to the Mumbai police, said the affidavit filed on Behalf-off of the Mumbai police by Bandra Police station Inspector. Inspector Bhushan Mahadev Belnekar said Maharashtra, not Bihar, was the state competent to give consent under section 6 of the Delhi Special police establishment act for CBI investigation into any offence that has taken place within the jurisdiction of the state.

Belnekar said, the Bihar Government’s decision to transfer probe into Patna FIR bristles with malafide as Bihar police has no jurisdiction to lodge FIR on an incident that has taken place in Mumbai and second Bihar was not the state competent to recommend CBI probe under DSPE Act.

Bihar police was hesitating to register FIR but it was done under pressure from CM Nitish Kumar, he said. It is submitted that registration of FIR in Patna, was politically motivated and due to extraneous reasons. The Inspector said the registration of FIR in Bihar on an incident that took place in Mumbai violated federal structure of the country.
