Special Court today rejected the bail requests of Rhea Chakraborty & her brother Showik who has been in the thick of news in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case – and other accused persons, who were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with a drugs possession and dealing case.

Rhea Chakraborty has filed a complaint at Mumbai’s Bandra Police Station against Priyanka Singh (Sushant Singh Rajput’s) sister and others under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code, Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and the Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020.

Moments after the news of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death broke, SANDEEP SSINGH appeared on the scene. Who was he? INDIA LEGAL spoke with Ssingh in an exclusive interview. Excerpts:

The most disturbing element in the Sushant Rajput suicide case is how the media in general has discarded all norms of ethics, decency and objectivity by its sensationalism and biased coverage. It paints a grim picture for the future of the Indian news space.

The professionalism and ethics of the media are constantly brought into question when it takes sides in a case and pronounces the accused guilty even before the court begins trial

The Press Council of India (PCI) has noted with distress that coverage of the alleged suicide by a film actor by many media outlets are in contravention of the norms of Journalistic Conduct framed by the PCI and issued advisory reminding media to follow the Norms of Journalistic conduct.

A plea has been filed before the Bombay High Court seeking temporary postponement of the media trial that is being conducted by several news channels and reporters for their personal gains in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.

The Supreme Court today observed that only cases and appeals (not investigation) can be transferred by invoking powers under Section 406 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

The Supreme court today reserved its verdict on the plea filed by Rhea Chakraborty, seeking transfer of investigation from Bihar to Maharashtra in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. The case has been transferred to the CBI by the Bihar government.

The twists and turns along with various theories and political and judicial intervention that has ensued in the wake of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has turned into a pot boiler worthy of its Bollwood origins. What lies behind so much intrigue and speculation and where is the investigation headed?
