The family of actor Shashant Singh Rajput, who committed suicide last June, and the actor's ex-girlfriend Riya Chakraborty's fight has taken a new turn and the actress has approached the Supreme Court after a case was filed against her.
Just two days ago, Shashant Singh Rajput's father had filed a case against his son's ex-girlfriend actress Riya Chakraborty at a police station in Bihar.
Shashant Singh's father had named not only his son's ex-girlfriend Riya Chakraborty but also his family in the First Information Report (FIR).
The actress and her family were charged with blackmail, rape and other criminal offenses, but the FIR did not include murder.
In the FIR, Sashant Singh's father had leveled serious allegations against Riya Chakraborty, claiming that the actress had controlled his son and kept him away from his parents.
The actor's father had claimed that Riya Chakraborty kept blackmailing his late son and even looking at his bank account.
The FIR alleged that Riya Chakraborty also stole valuables belonging to Shashant Singh Rajput, including cash, gold, laptops, credit cards and medical reports.

However, Riya Chakraborty has now approached the Supreme Court after a case was filed against her in Bihar.
According to India Today, Riya Chakraborty filed a petition in the High Court on July 30 through lawyer Satish Mande, dismissing all the allegations leveled by Sashant Singh's father.
The actress admitted in a petition filed in the Supreme Court that she was in a 'live-in relationship' with Shashant Singh Rajput and they had been together for the past one year.
'Live in relationship' is legal in India, under which any adult man and woman can fulfill their sexual needs without getting married together and they can have children with each other's consent, under this agreement the couple They can separate at any time and on separation the two cannot take any legal action against each other.
In her petition, the actress termed all the allegations leveled by Shashant Singh Rajput's father as baseless.
The actress further said in her plea that the police in Mumbai, Maharashtra, were already investigating the suicide of Sashant Singh Rajput and she had recorded her statement there.
The actress said in her petition that where the case was filed against her and where Shashant Singh Rajput committed suicide, the legal limits of the two are different.
In her petition, Riya Chakraborty claimed that Sashant Singh's father was influential in the state of Bihar and feared that justice would not be served there, so the case against him should be transferred to the state of Maharashtra.
The actress requested the court to transfer the case filed against her in Patna to Mumbai and hand it over to the police officers investigating the suicide of Shant Singh Rajput.
In another report, India Today said that not only Sashant Singh's parents are against Riya Chakraborty's request but also the Bihar government and police are against the actress' request.
According to the report, the Bihar government and the police also do not want to transfer the case to the state of Maharashtra and there is a possibility of differences between the Maharashtra and Bihar police and the government on the same issue.
According to India Today, the case has taken a dramatic turn after Risha Chakraborty filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the case filed by Shashant Singh's father and fans became more upset.
Following a legal battle between Riya Chakraborty and Sashant Singh's parents, it is believed that the actor's suicide investigation has now turned into a fight between his ex-girlfriend and family.
It may be recalled that Shashant Singh Rajput had committed suicide on June 14 at his residence in the presence of friends and employees.
The post-mortem report also said that his death was due to suffocation and it was said that the case seems to be a suicide.
