Earlier, the Supreme Court noted that the Mumbai Police have registered only an accidental death report in connection with Rajput's death, therefore it have limited investigation powers, whereas the case registered by Bihar Police is a full fledged FIR which has been already referred to CBI. The top ensured that there was no confusion about CBI being sole authority to investigate the mystery behind Rajput's death and no other state police could interfere with it. The apex court order came on a plea by Rhea Chakraborty seeking transfer of FIR registered in Patna to Mumbai. The apex court emphasized that the probe into the case has been ordered by the court and Maharashtra government must comply and assist. The CBI is also free to register a fresh case, if required, added the top court.
