Supreme Court Relief For Actor Rhea Chakraborty In Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case

“We are warning. You are filing such a frivolous petition, only because one of the accused is a high-profile person…It will be with exemplary cost. Both persons have deep roots in society,” Justice Gavai said when the CBI counsel sought a pass over of the matter, the report added.

“If you want the cost and some compliments to CBI, we will pass-over,” Justice Gavai said.

In February, the Bombay High Court cancelled the LOC issued by the CBI against Rhea Chakraborty and her two family members in 2020 in connection with the death of Sushant Singh Rajput.

A bench of justices Revati Mohite Dere and Manjusha Deshpande allowed petitions filed by Rhea Chakraborty, her brother and their father against the LOCs issued against them that prevented them from travelling abroad.

A LOC issued by an investigating agency can request the Bureau of Immigration to detain a person, stop the person from boarding a plane or simply inform the agency concerned about the person’s exit from the country. The LOC was lifted by the high court order, weeks after it was suspended by a vacation bench in December to let Rhea Chakraborty travel to Dubai for a meet-and-greet event, despite CBI’s strong opposition.
