The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput case. The apex court also said that registration of the FIR in Patna by Bihar police is valid, and they have jurisdiction. The top court also upheld the Bihar government's move to transfer the case to CBI, and disposed of the petition of Rhea Chakraborty. The Mumbai police are exploring legal options.

SC on Mumbai police

The apex court in its order has mentioned that the records of the case produced do not prima facie suggest any wrongdoing by the Mumbai police. However, their obstruction to the Bihar police team at Mumbai could have been avoided since it gave rise to suspicion on the bonafide nature of their inquiry. A senior police officer told mid-day, "The court didn't find any wrongdoing in our probe. We will continue with 174CrPC and if we see any crime was committed, then we will register an FIR and transferred it to CBI as directed by the top court."
