Rhea Filed FIR Due To Personal Grudge: Sushant Singh's Sisters Tell Bombay HC

Sushant Singh Rajput’s sisters Priyanka and Meetu Singh have now issued a rejoinder to Rhea Chakraborty's “disclosed commission of offence” charge. In the rejoinder, the sisters claimed that Chakraborty registered the FIR against them only for "wreaking vengeance". The sisters were booked by the Bandra police in September.

Chakraborty had said in her complaint that a “bogus and unlawful” medical prescription “was sent by the petitioners (against Priyanka and Meetu) with the help of a Delhi-based doctor wherein medicines for anxiety were prescribed to Rajput." Sushant Singh Rajput's sisters on Wednesday denied the allegations and told the Bombay HC that the complaint was lodged against them in an attempt to take revenge.

They further alleged that Chakraborty’s complaint was based on “unfounded allegations, unsubstantiated facts, speculations and was a counterblast” to the abetment of suicide case filed against her by their father KK Singh in Bihar. The CBI, however, had earlier opposed an FIR filed against Rajput‘s sisters and labelled it as “vitiated and bad in law.”

Priyanka and Meetu Singh's petition

Priyanka and Meetu Singh have moved the HC, seeking to quash the case filed against them by Bandra police. According to a report by The Times of India, they have reportedly claimed that it was Chakraborty who “deliberately concealed” a letter she had herself written on September 14 to the police in which she “conceded that an FIR cannot be registered under section 306 (abetment of suicide) IPC.”

They also alleged that Chakraborty has put forth a “moonshine defence and self-serving averments’’ when she replied to their petition. They are now reportedly seeking a probe into her “malicious activities’’ and “damages under public law remedy for malicious prosecution.’’ The sisters said in their rejoinder that the FIR was filed “maliciously” to “wreak vengeance” and harass them due to a “personal grudge” by making “preposterous allegations.”

About the case

A complaint was lodged by Rajput’s father in Patna, alleging that Chakraborty and her family were responsible for his son’s death by suicide on June 14. Following which, her name also popped up in the drug probe carried out by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and she was in jail for almost a month. She was bailed out on October 7 and had later accused Rajput’s sisters of giving him medicines without a prescription, days before his death by suicide.
