The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the transfer of an FIR, lodged at Patna against actress Rhea Chakraborty and others for allegedly abetting the suicide of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, to the CBI.
The apex court said that the Bihar government is competent to transfer the case to the CBI for investigation.
Rajput, 34, was found dead inside his apartment in suburban Bandra in Mumbai on June 14.
His death and the row over it have been in focus in his home state Bihar, where assembly elections are slated to be held in October-November.
