Rhea Chakraborty issues first statement on SC Verdict: Truth will remain the same

Rhea Chakraborty's lawyer Satish Maneshinde has released a statement after Supreme Court's order of CBI probe in Sushant Singh Rajput death case. In a statement, advocate stated, "The Hon’ble Supreme Court after examining the facts and circumstances of the case and the report of the Mumbai police has observed that it will be the desired justice as Rhea herself called for a CBI investigation. The Hon’ble Supreme Court also observed that due to the allegations made by the two states of political interference against each other, it would be in the interest of justice to hand over the case to the CBI."

The statement by Maneshinde further read as "Since the Court has Transferred the investigation to CBI invoking its powers under Article 142 of the Constitution of India, she will appear and face the investigation by the CBI as she has done earlier with the Mumbai Police and the Enforcement Directorate. Rhea maintains that the Truth will remain the same whichever agency investigates the case."The Mumbai Police has been asked to help the CBI with their investigation. In the meantime, the Maharashtra government lawyer asked for permission to challenge the verdict. The judge, though, said that it is now a court-ordered investigation. This is the fourth and final hearing in the case. The Centre had told the Supreme Court in the first hearing on August 5 that they have accepted Bihar government's recommendation to transfer the case to CBI. Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14.
