The CBI has filed an FIR against the Sushant Singh Rajput's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, her family members and others. Now, Rhea's lawyer Satish Maneshinde reacting to the same has issued a statement calling it an illegal move. The statement read as, 'The Bihar Government transferred a case with which it had NO Jurisdiction to investigate, to CBI instead of he Mumbai Police, which is the legal position. The Hon'ble Supreme Court is seised of the issue pursuant to the Transfer Petition filed by Rhea Chakraborty. The SC has directed all parties to file their replies and Mumbai Police are directed to place the report of investigations.' He added, 'CBI being a premier investigative agency in the country should desist from taking any further steps pending the SC proceedings.

Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate has also summoned Rhea for questioning on August 7 in connection with a money laundering case in the same.
