Rhea Chakraborty was not allowed to attend Sushant’s funeral, says lawyer

Mumbai : Ever since an FIR was lodged against Rhea Chakraborty by Sushant Singh Rajput’s father in Patna, reports suggested that the actress has gone missing.

However clarifying the same, Rhea’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde had shared, “Rhea Chakraborty has always been living in Mumbai. She was in Mumbai on 14th June 2020. She was not allowed to attend the Funeral of Sushant Singh as her name was stuck off from the list of 20,” stated Satish Maneshinde.

“She was summoned by Mumbai Police on 18th of June 2020 at Bandra Police Station. Her statement was recorded there. Afterwards she was summoned to appear on 17th July 2020 at Santacruz Police station. She appeared and recorded her supplementary statement,” further said her lawyer.

Bihar police arrived in Mumbai for investigation after the FIR was lodged in Patna. While Rhea moved the Supreme Court, seeking to transfer the probe from Patna to Mumbai into the FIR lodged against her. 

“Later when the Bihar Police came to Mumbai to investigate a case on the basis of an FIR registered at Patna, she approached the Supreme Court and filed a Transfer Petition on 30th July 2020 for transfer of the case to Mumbai in view of the legal position,” said the lawyer.
