PTI reported that a bench of Justice Hrishikesh Roy directed Maharashtra, Bihar and Rajput's father Krishna Kishore Singh to file their replies within three days on a plea by Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty who is seeking transfer of an FIR, accusing her of abetting the suicide of Rajput, from Patna to Mumbai.

The apex court, which posted the matter for hearing next week, also directed Mumbai Police to place before it the status report of the probe conducted so far in Rajput's death case. 

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020. Fans and many celebrities had been pressing for a CBI probe suspecting foul play in his death. 

For the uninitiated, late actor's former manager Disha Salian was found dead on June 8, 2020, a few days before Sushant died. She allegedly fell from a Mumbai high-rise.
