Mumbai: Police have told the Bombay High Court that they were “statutorily obligated” to register a case on the basis of actress Rhea Chakraborty’s complaint that blamed Sushant Singh Rajput’s sisters Priyanka Singh and Meetu Singh and Delhi-based cardiologist Dr Tarun Kumar for his death, Hindustan Times reported.
According to an affidavit filed by Mumbai Police, Rhea alleged in her complaint that Priyanka had sent Sushant prescriptions of medicines containing psychotropic substances in violation of the NDPS Act without any actual examination of the patient.
The consumption of the psychotropic substances “may have caused and contributed to the suicidal death of the actor”, she alleged.
“This version of the informant [Rhea] disclosed commission of cognisable offences, warranting investigation,” Senior Inspector Nikhil Kapse said in the affidavit justifying registration of a First Investigation Report (FIR).
The affidavit was filed in reply to Priyanka and Meetu Singh’s plea seeking quashing of the FIR against them for alleged forgery and fabrication of a medical prescription for their brother.
The two sisters were booked by Bandra Police in September after Rhea lodged a complaint against them.
A bench of Justices SS Shinde and MS Karnik will take up the plea for hearing on Wednesday.
