A brief background:

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.
