The Bombay High Court is likely to pass its judgement on Monday on a plea filed by late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s sisters who are seeking quashing of an FIR filed against them by actor and Rajput’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty.

In the FIR, Rhea Chakraborty alleged that the sisters — Priyanka and Meetu — had allegedly procured medicine for Sushant Singh Rajput without physical consultation with a doctor. The sisters’ lawyer Vikas Singh argued before the court that the medicines had been prescribed by the doctors through telemedicine as per the ICMR guidelines.

The FIR was filed in September and the case was transferred to the CBI, which is investigating Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case.

In the last hearing, the lawyer who appeared for the Mumbai Police said that “after Rhea left Rajput’s house, it was the sisters, who were with him and they on their own had prescribed medicines to him.”

Kamat read out some WhatsApp messages exchanged between the sisters and SSR. He said, “When one of the sisters, Priyanka asked him to take some medicine, he had replied, ‘No one will give without prescription.’ So, she got a prescription and sent it to him. After that she messages, ‘if anything one can say on-line consultation.’

Rajput died by suicide in his Mumbai flat on JUne 14, 2020. Currently three central agencies are probing the case — the CBI, the NCB and the ED. Rhea and her brother, along with others, were arrested in the drug case. Both were later released on bail.
