Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case took a massive turn when his father KK Singh filed an FIR in Bihar against his rumoured girlfriend and Bollywood actor Rhea Chakraborty. He levelled several allegations against her in the 6-page FIR including theft and cheating. Soon after, Rhea moved to the Supreme Court and petitioned to transfer the case from Patna to Mumbai calling for an “impartial investigation”, reported Hindustan Times.
Now, Rhea told the Supreme Court that she has been “falsely implicated” in the FIR registered against her in Bihar, reports DNA. Her plea read:
“In peculiar facts and circumstances of the present case, the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case filed by at the instance of Krishna Kishore Singh.”
In the plea filed on Wednesday, Rhea alleged that Sushant’s father is using his “influence” in illegally roping her in the case.
Rhea in her plea, agreed that she was in a live-in relationship with Sushant till June 8 and claimed that Sushant was suffering from depression and was on anti-depressants.
“It is pertinent to mention that the deceased and petitioner were in a live-in relationship since a year up till June 8, 2020, when the petitioner had temporarily shifted to her own residence in Mumbai.”
“The deceased was suffering from depression for some time and was also on anti-depressants and he committed suicide on the morning of June 14, 2020, at his Bandra residence by hanging himself. ‘Unnatural death report’ was filed by Bandra police station at Mumbai and causes leading to taking of such drastic steps are being examined,” added the plea.
Rhea Chakraborty in her petition further accused Sushant’s acquaintances of influencing the probe, reported India Today. She said that his friend, Siddharth Pithani was forced to give false statements against her, as mentioned in his email to Mumbai Police.
She further alleged that in the email sent by Siddharth he mentioned about receiving a conference phone call from Sushant’s brother-in-law and senior IPS officer OP Singh and Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister Meetu Singh, asking him details about Rhea.
The ‘Mere Dad Ki Maruti’ actor also said that she has been receiving rape and death threats and she is in deep trauma after the death of Sushant. “Petitioner has also received various death and rape threats and she is in deep trauma due to the loss of deceased, which is multiplied further due to the media sensitivity of the case.”
Her plea further stated, “The petitioner has filed a complaint at Santa Cruz police station in Mumbai against the death and rape threats. It would be just and expedient if the transfer of the case is directed from Patna to Mumbai.”
According to reports, the Bihar government and Sushant’s family have filed caveats before the Supreme Court challenging Rhea’s petition.
