Sushant's father files caveat in SC on Rhea Chakraborty's plea to transfer probe

Deceased actor Sushant Singh Rajput's father K.K. Singh on Thursday filed a caveat in the Supreme Court on the plea of actress Rhea Chakraborty seeking transfer of investigation in the case from Patna to Mumbai.

"Let nothing be done in the above mentioned matter without prior notice to the undersigned," said the caveat by advocate Nitin Saluja on behalf of Sushant's father. The apex court also declined to entertain a plea seeking a CBI investigation into the death of Sushant.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has declined to entertain a PIL seeking CBI probe into the death by suicide by actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

A bench headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde said the PIL petitioner Alka Priya has no locus standi in the matter. "The Mumbai police are probing the matter. If you want, then you can go before the Bombay High Court and seek appropriate relief," noted the bench also comprising Justices A.S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian.

Advocate K.B. Upadhyay, appearing for the petitioner, argued before the bench that Sushant was a good man, as he was supporting several social causes

The bench replied it has nothing to do with whether a person was a good person or bad person, and it is about jurisdiction. The bench told the petitioner's counsel that he should go to Bombay High Court, if there was anything concrete to be shared.

Upadhyay had contended in the plea that there are several irregularities in the investigation of Mumbai police. "He had injury marks on his body," said Upadhyay. (IANS)
