No Interference Now With FIR Against Sushant Singh Rajput's Sisters, Says Bombay HC
Live LawPriyanka Singh and Meetu Singh, deceased actor Sushant Singh Rajput's sisters, have filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court for quashing of FIR filed against them by Mumbai police on actor Rhea Chakraborty's complaint. Referring to the allegations made in the FIR, Singh pressed for relief and said that Sushant's sister Priyanka along with a doctor prescribed some medicines to Sushant and for this she has been booked under Section 306 of IPC and provisions of Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. The petition states- "The FIR is not only in the teeth of the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court's judgment dated August 19, 2020 in Rhea Chakraborty vs State of Bihar, but is also a blatant attempt to derail the ongoing investigations by the Central Bureau Of Investigation and other agencies who have taken cognizance of various facts emerging in pending investigation and pending FIR." However, there is not even an iota of allegation to suggest that the alleged prescription was forged, neither has Respondent No.1 done any preliminary enquiry to ascertain the said fact which is evident from the fact that the complaint was received at police station on September 7, 2020 at 7:30 pm and FIR was registered on the same day without any preliminary enquiry and without application of mind by Respondent No.1."
