IT IS CBI FOR SSR

- Rishabh Suri

Thank you God! You have answered our prayers!! But it is just the beginning... the first step towards the truth! Full faith on CBI!!,” this tweet by Shweta Singh Kirti, Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister, sums up what the late actor’s fans and family must be feeling as the Supreme Court asked the Central Bureau of Investigat­ion (CBI) to probe his death.

Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai flat on June 14, and Mumbai Police said prima facie it was a suicide. On July 28, Rajput’s father

Krishna Kishor Singh filed an FIR in Patna, Bihar, accusing Rhea Chakrabort­y and others of abetting the actor’s suicide. On July 29, she moved the SC to transfer the case to

Mumbai, claiming Bihar didn’t have any jurisdicti­on. After a Patna cop probing the case was forcibly quarantine­d in Mumbai, the Bihar government on August 4 recommende­d to the Centre that the death be probed by the CBI. On Wednesday, the SC held the Patna FIR as valid.

Ankita Lokhande, Rajput’s ex, tweeted: “Justice is the truth in action Truth wins .... ”
