New Delhi:

The Supreme Court is due to hear on August 5 a plea filed by actress Rhea Chakraborty who requested the transfer of an FIR, filed against her in connection with the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, from Patna to Mumbai.

According to the list of cases uploaded to the higher court’s website, Chakraborty’s transfer petition will be heard on Wednesday before a bench by Judge Hrishikesh Roy.

Mr Rajput, 34, was found hanging from the ceiling of his apartment in the Bandra suburb of Mumbai on June 14 and since then Mumbai police have investigated the case with different angles in mind .

The governments of Bihar and Maharashtra have already filed a warning in the high court asking to be heard before an order is made on Chakraborty’s plea in which she requested the transfer of the FIR, filed against her and others for alleged offense of incitement to suicide, from Patna to Mumbai.

Krishna Kishore Singh, father of the deceased actor, also filed a warning with the Supreme Court on the matter.

Caveat is a preventive legal measure taken to ensure that a party does not obtain a favorable order without a notice or hearing granted to the opponent. On July 25, Rajput’s father filed an FIR at Rajiv Nagar police station in Patna against Chakraborty and six others, including members of his family, accusing them of encouraging the actor’s suicide.

In his plea filed in the superior court, Chakraborty alleged that Rajput’s father used his “influence” by tying her up in the FIR filed in Patna, Bihar, accusing him of encouraging his son’s suicide.

The actress said in her plea that she was living with Mr. Rajput and had suffered profound trauma as a result of the actor’s death and that she had further received threats of rape and dead.

“It is relevant to mention that the deceased and the petitioner had lived for a year until June 8, 2020, when the petitioner had temporarily moved to his own residence in Mumbai,” she said in her plea .

Ms Chakraborty also stated in her plea that “the deceased (Rajput) had suffered from depression for some time and was also on antidepressants and he committed suicide on the morning of June 14, 2020 at his Bandra residence while hanging himself. “

She stated in her argument that it becomes quite clear that opening an investigation in Patna is wrong in the absence of any cause of action that has arisen in Patna.

The whole cause of action as alleged in the FIR had arisen in Bandra in Mumbai, his plea said.

An FIR was registered against her and others in Patna for alleged offenses under various articles of the Indian Penal Code, including 306 (incitement to suicide), 341 (punishment for forcible confinement), 342 (punishment for forcible confinement), 380 (theft from a dwelling), 406 (sanction for criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating and dishonest incitement to hand over property).

On July 30, the higher court rejected a separate plea, filed by one Alka Priya, requesting the transfer of the investigation into Rajput’s death case from the Mumbai police to the CBI.
