Sushant Singh Rajput's sister Meetu and Priyanka approached the Bombay High Court on Tuesday against Rhea Chakraborty's FIR. Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty had filed a counter FIR against Sushant Singh Rajput's sister Priyanka Singh to the Mumbai Police which was later transferred to the CBI. Rhea, in her six-page long complaint the actress has cited that Sushant passed away five days after he obtained a prescription wherein “he was unlawfully prescribed psychotropic substances at the behest of his sister Priyanka”.
Rhea had requested in her complaint that an FIR should be registered against Priyanka Singh, Dr. Tarun Kumar, under the provision of the IPC 1860, the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Drugs Act, 1985, and Telemedicine Practice Guidelines, 2020.
Now, Sushant sisters Meetu and Priyanka have filed a petition to quash the FIR filed by Rhea Chakraborty. A division bench of Justice SS Shinde and MS Karnik took up the plea on Tuesday and posted it for hearing on October 13, saying there was no urgency.

Sushant's sisters in the petition have claimed the FIR was filed based on media reports and the complaint was fraught with material irregularities and discrepancies. They also claimed that there was an inordinate delay of 90 days in lodging the complaint that the medicines were prescribed on June 8, the day Sushant asked Rhea to leave his house and the complaint was lodged on September 7.
The petition said, “A bare perusal of the complaint and the FIR shows it does not make out any cognizable offense. The drugs that have sought to be allegedly given by Dr. Tarun Kumar are not banned drugs.”
