It said that 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 which ever agency investigates the case, her advocate said.

Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's mysterious death in his Mumbai apartment on June 14 has led to widespread anger among his family and fans.

After about a month-long investigation by Mumbai Police which yielded no substantial result, the late actor’s family  filed complaint against his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty with Patna police, accusing her of transferring money from his account.

The case was then transferred to CBI on the recommendation of Bihar government.  Rhea Chakraborty challenged the jurisdiction of the Bihar Police in the matter in her written submission and told SC that the Patna FIR could at best be regarded as a zero FIR.
