Sushant Singh Rajput’s sisters, Priyanka and Meetu Singh, have filed a petition in the Bombay HC to quash FIR registered against them by Rhea Chakbraborty.

Rhea Chakraborty had filed an FIR against Sushant’s sisters and Dr Tarun Kumar – an associate professor of cardiology from Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital – for preparing a “fake” prescription of anxiety medicines for him. In her FIR, Rhea had also alleged that the medicines provided by Priyanka and Meetu along with the joint given by house help might have led Sushant to take such drastic step.

The case was directly transferred to CBI who is probing the actor’s death case.

Meanwhile, Sushant’s sisters in their petition cited irregularities in Chakraborty’s statements on TV and in FIR and has said that it was an afterthought. They have also claimed that the FIR was only filed to divert the current investigation led by CBI.

The petition filed by advocate Madhav Thorat has sought a stay on the FIR, citing a 91 day delay in the registration. The petition also claimed that the prescription by Dr. Kumar is covered under the Telemedicines Guidelines and Telepsychiarty Operational Guidelines.

In her FIR, Rhea had claimed that all the medicines prescribed by Sushant’s sisters’ doctors are controlled under NDPS and can not be sold without due permission from the concerned authority.

Meanwhile, Rhea Chakraborty, on Tuesday, urged the Bombay High Court to dismiss the plea filed by Sushant’s sisters.

Rhea Chakraborty, in her reply filed through advocate Satish Maneshinde, said, “As per the prescription dated June 8, 2020, Dr. Tarun Kumar prescribed Nexito 5 mg, Librium 5 mg and Lonazep MD 0.5 mg to Sushant for anxiety.”

“That it is pertinent to note that the tablet Librium is Chlordiazepoxide which appears at Item No.36 in the list of psychotropic substances under the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS), while Nexito and Lonazep MD both contain Clonazepam which appears in the list of psychotropic substances under the NDPS Act. Sushant died merely five days after he obtained the said prescription wherein he was unlawfully prescribed psychotropic substances at the behest of sister [Priyanka] and Dr. Tarun Kumar,” she added.

After toofani seniors — Sidharth Shukla, Gauhar Khan and Hina Khan — left the house, Bigg Boss is introducing new contestants in the house. After Naina Singh and Kavita Kaushik, Aly Goni has become third participant to enter the Bigg Boss house as a new contestant.

Aly, who is known for his stint in Yeh Hai Mohabattein and has also featured in some reality show, is a close friend of house inmate Jasmin Bhasin. If rumours are to be believed, the duo has been dating for the quite some time now. Until now, Aly was seen vouching for Jasmin on his social media handles.

Meanwhile, it is not new for Bigg Boss to invite rumoured couples inside the house as they play an important role in boosting the TRP of the show.

For the uninitiated, Aly was approached by the makers of the show in the beginning, however, the actor turned down he offer due to prior commitments. Now that he has finally given the nod, it would be interesting to see how things spice up between the rumoured couple inside the house.

Aly is expected to enter the house in the first week of November.

Bigg Boss house recently welcomed two new contestant — Naina Singh and Kavita Kaushik — inside the house.

TOI quoted a source as saying, “Jasmin is already going strong inside the house and Aly will turn out to be a great ally for her. In fact, both of them will be a strong support system for each other. Aly had openly slammed Nikki Tamboli (Jasmin’s arch-rival inside the house) and her team on social media for targeting Jasmin and him in a distasteful manner. What makes the prospect even more interesting is the fact that Jasmin and Aly have always been linked with each other. While they have vehemently denied being a couple, their easy-going camaraderie and sizzling chemistry have often set tongues wagging.”

Meanwhile, Aly Goni was last seen in Nach Baliye 9 with ex-girlfriend Natasa Stankovic.
