The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered CBI probe into mysterious suicidal death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Here is a look at the key points of Supreme Court's verdict —
The apex court asked the Mumbai Police to hand over all evidence collected so far in the case to CBI.
The court observed that the FIR registered at Patna on the complaint filed by Rajput's father was correct. The court added that the Bihar government had the right to refer the Patna FIR lodged by Rajput's father to CBI.
The SC said CBI will be competent to probe not only the Patna FIR but any other FIR related to Rajput death case.
The court ensured that there was no confusion about CBI being sole authority to probe the mystery behind Rajput's suicidal death and that no other state police could interfere with it.
The court further observed that since the Mumbai police had registered only an accidental death report for Rajput's death, it had limited investigation powers. Since Bihar police registered a full fledged FIR which already stand referred to CBI, the central agency should probe the case.
