New Delhi: Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020. The case being handled by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) along with Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) probing the drugs angle and Enforcement Directorate (ED) looking into the money laundering matter.

According to IANS report, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday slammed the Mumbai Police for registering an FIR against late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput`s sisters on the complaint of Rhea Chakraborty, saying it is "vitiated" and 'bad in law'.

The CBI made the submissions in the Bombay High Court while opposing the second FIR filed by Mumbai Police on the complaints of Rhea related to the death of Sushant.

The CBI informed the court that the present FIR has been registered by Mumbai Police in complete disregard to the provisions of Section 154 of the CrPC.

Karishma Prakash, who had been questioned by the NCB last month too, had been asked "to join the investigation" here on Wednesday. "She did not appear," said a senior official who is part of the probe team. 

On Tuesday, the NCB had raided Prakash's residence in suburban Versova and claimed to have seized 1.8 grams of hashish. But her lawyer denied that she stayed there.

The CBI on Wednesday slammed the Mumbai Police for registering an FIR against late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput`s sisters on the complaint of Rhea Chakraborty, saying it is "vitiated" and "bad in law".

According to IANS, the agency said that the probe by the CBI was approved by the Supreme Court on August 19.

"Therefore, registration of another FIR on the same facts and cause of action was neither warranted, not allowed under the law. Thus the FIR is vitiated and bad in law," the CBI said.
