NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday rejected the petition filed by Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister Priyanka Singh against the Bombay High Court order which did not quash Rhea Chakraborty’s FIR against her in connection for allegedly providing banned medicines to the late actor.
A three-judge bench of the Apex Court, headed by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sharad Arvind Bobde and also comprising Justices A S Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian dismissed the petition filed by Priyanka.
“We are dismissing the petition,” the CJI S A Bobde said.
Priyanka Singh, had filed the petition before the Supreme Court and challenged an FIR registered on the basis of this complaint before the Bombay High Court.
She had claimed in her petition, that the FIR was lodged to “concoct a whole new story entirely different from the statements made” by Chakraborty before the Supreme Court and media platforms.
However, the Bombay High Court had held “There is prima facie case found against Priyanka Singh and there should not be any impediment against investigation against her.” (AGENCY)
