Actor Rhea
Chakraborty’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde has claimed that she was not allowed to attend Sushant
Singh Rajput’s funeral. He also mentioned that her name was struck off the list
of 20 invitees.

Maneshinde
told news agency ANI, “Rhea Chakraborty has always been living in Mumbai. She
was in Mumbai on 14 June 2020. She was not allowed to attend the funeral of
Sushant as her name was struck off from the list of 20.”

The lawyer
also said Rhea is cooperating with Mumbai Police and has already recorded her
statement with at Bandra Police Station on June 18. “Her statement was recorded
there. Subsequently, she was summoned to appear on July 17 at Santacruz Police
Station. She appeared and recorded her supplementary statement,” he added.

In a fresh
development in actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case, the late actor’s father
KK Singh spoke to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar seeking a CBI probe in the
case, reported ANI.

Nitish Kumar told ANI, “The DGP spoke to Sushant’s father
this morning and he gave consent for CBI inquiry. So now, we are recommending
CBI probe in the matter.”

KK Singh
filed an abetment to suicide case against Rhea in Patna last month. Immediately
after that, a four-member team was sent to Mumbai from Bihar to investigate the
case.

Meanwhile,
Rhea had approached the Supreme Court and filed a transfer petition stating
that Bihar Police has no jurisdiction to investigate in Sushant Singh Rajput’s
death case legally and otherwise, her lawyer said.

“Later, when the Bihar Police came to Mumbai to
investigate the case on the basis of an FIR registered in Patna, Rhea
approached the Supreme Court and filed a Transfer Petition on July 30 for
transfer of the case to Mumbai in view of the legal position that a case
registered beyond the jurisdiction of the local police station where the
alleged incident has taken place can only record a ‘Zero FIR’ and transfer it
for the investigation to Mumbai where the criminal law has already been set in
motion. The Bihar Police has no jurisdiction to investigate the case legally
and otherwise,” the lawyer said.
