Bihar government said this
The Bihar government had told the apex court in this case that due to 'political influence', the Mumbai police has not even registered an FIR in the case of actor Sushant and with this he has not given any assistance to the Bihar police in this case. .
Central government
The Center has sought the approval of the apex court to probe the case from the CBI and ED. The Center told the top court that CBI has already registered an FIR on the request made by the Bihar government.
Actress Riya Chakraborty's side
Riya had told the Supreme Court in writing that the Patna FIR should be considered a zero FIR and it should be transferred to the Mumbai Police.
Along with this, Riya has insisted that Rajput's father has made baseless allegations against her.
He has said that the maximum that can be done in such an instance is that the case registered as a 'zero FIR' should be referred to the police station having jurisdiction.
Riya also says that the investigation in Bihar is completely illegal and such illegal proceedings cannot be transferred to the CBI.
Argument from Sushant's father
Sushant Singh Rajput's father K.K. K. Singh informed the Supreme Court that Riya has already started influencing the witnesses associated with the case and has also taken a U-turn on the CBI investigation. K. K. Singh's lawyer has argued that Riya also wanted a CBI inquiry into the matter, then why is she against it now?
Center said – appropriate case for CBI investigation
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Center, has argued that this is a perfectly suitable case for CBI investigation. Mehta questioned how the Mumbai police called 56 people and recorded their statements, as they could not do so under interrogation proceedings. He told the court that the Mumbai police never filed an FIR for investigation.
Mehta insisted that the ED has already started an investigation and that a second central agency (CBI) should also be involved in the case after a central agency has registered a case.
The sister said this before the verdict
Before today's decision, Sushant's sister Shweta Singh Kirti posted a picture of Mahabharata on her social media account with a slogan of Geeta. It is written, 'Move from darkness to light!'
