Talking about the charges, a spokesperson of Mumbai Police was quoted saying in Indian Express as, “As per the complaint of Rhea Chakraborty, a case has been registered at Bandra Police Station, Mumbai under sections 420, 464, 465, 466, 468, 474, 306, 120B, 34 IPC and r/w Sec 8(c), 21, 22(A), 29 of NDPS Act. In line with orders of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, the case is duly transferred to CBI for further investigation.

A part of Rhea’s six-page long complaint reads, “It seems that as per my discussion with the deceased at the time, he had informed his sister that he would not be able to obtain the said medication without a prescription… Shockingly it has not come to light that his sister Priyanka had subsequently, on the same day, sent him a prescription by one Dr Tarun Kumar, associate professor of cardiology from Dr Ram Manohar Lohia hospital in New Delhi. Prime facie the said document appears forged and fabricated… Dr Kumar appears to have prescribed medication (controlled) under the NDPS Act to the deceased without any consultation as mandated by law.”

Supreme Court in its verdict on the transfer plea of Rhea had clearly stated that all the cases registered related to the death of Sushant will now be probed by CBI. So Mumbai Police’s charges against Sushant’s sisters and others will also be probed by CBI.

Earlier, reacting to Rhea’s complaint, Sushant’s family lawyer Vikas Singh had said that the this is just a ploy to get Mumbai Police involved in the case.
