New Delhi: Rhea
Chakraborty has always been living in Mumbai. She was in Mumbai on June 14, the
day Sushant Singh Rajput died, she was not permitted to come to his funeral, according
to her lawyer Satish Maneshinde said in a statement. His statement comes just
days after the Bihar Police claimed that its team is unable to "find"
Rhea Chakraborty. In the meantime, her lawyer also told that Rhea's name was
struck off from the list of 20 people who were allowed last rites.
Confirming Rhea's
presence in front of the Mumbai Police to record her statement in the case, Rhea’s
lawyer told, that, "She was called by Mumbai Police on June 18 at Bandra
police station. Her statement was recorded there. Afterward, she was called to
appear on July 17 at Santacruz police station. She appeared and recorded
her supplementary statement."
Rhea has been highlighted
in headlines since Sushant's death. The couple was in a relationship. However,
last week, Sushant's father KK Singh filed an FIR against her blaming the
actress of cheating and harassment. After the FIR, a team of Bihar Police
launched an inquiry in Mumbai, which hasn't gone down well with Mumbai Police.
Rhea, too, has approached the Supreme Court seeking transfer of the Patna FIR
to Mumbai.
Of which, Satish
Maneshinde said in the statement, "Later on when the Bihar Police came to
Mumbai to inquire a case on the basis of an FIR filed at Patna, she approached
the Supreme Court and filed a Transfer Petition on July 30 for transfer of the
case to Mumbai in view of the legal position that a case registered beyond the
jurisdiction of the local police station where the suspected incident has taken
place can only record a ' Zero FIR' and transfer it for inquiry to Mumbai where
the criminal law has already been set in motion. The Bihar Police has no
jurisdiction to inquire the case legally and otherwise."
