A turf war broke out between the Mumbai and Bihar Police over the investigations into the suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput on Wednesday, as spotlight turned onto the late actor’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, who moved the Supreme Court seeking the transfer of the FIR registered in the case from Patna to Mumbai.

 In new twist that came in the sensational case after the actor’s father Krishna Kumar Singh lodged an FIR against Rhea and her family members in Patna, Rhea Chakraborty swiftly moved the Supreme Court on Wednesday, even as the Bihar Police slugged it out with the Mumbai Police for taking charge of the investigations into the case. Rhea’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde confirmed that a petition had been filed by his client in the Supreme Court seeking transfer of investigation in the FIR filed against her and her family members in the case.

The late actor’s father KK Singh lodged an FIR with Rajiv Nagar police station under various sections of IPC including 306 (abetment of suicide) on July 25.
