Rhea Chakraborty in her complaint also alleged that Sushant had died "within five days after obtaining this unlawful prescription". (File)In a fresh twist in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, actor Rhea Chakraborty Monday lodged a complaint before the Mumbai Police requesting an FIR be lodged against the late actor’s sister Priyanka Singh, Dr. Tarun Kumar of Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, and others over a “bogus medical prescription” with medication that “cannot be prescribed electronically.”
The actor in her complaint also alleged that Sushant died “within five days after obtaining this unlawful prescription”.
In her complaint to police, Rhea said: “On the morning of 8 June 2020, the deceased (Sushant) had been on his phone incessantly and when I enquired what he was doing, he showed me the messages he was exchanging with his sister Priyanka Singh. I say that I was shocked upon reading the said messages as his sister Priyanka had sent him a list of medications to take. I explained to the Deceased that given the seriousness of his condition, and the fact that he already had medications prescribed by doctors who had examined and treated him over several months, he ought not to take any other medication, least of all medication being prescribed by his sister who has no medical degree. I say that the Deceased and I disagreed on this aspect and he insisted that he would only take the medicine his sister was prescribing him.”
“Shockingly it has now come to light that his sister Priyanka had subsequently on the same day sent him a prescription by one Dr. Tarun Kumar, an Associate Professor of Cardiology from Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi. I say that prima facie the said document appears forged and fabricated,” she wrote.
The actor further alleged that Dr. Kumar prescribed medication which are controlled under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 to Sushant Singh Rajput “without any consultation” as mandated by Law.
She also alleged that the medical prescription depicted the late actor as an “Out-Patient Department patient” at the hospital in Delhi when in fact he was in Mumbai on June 8. “It is misconduct under 3.7.1.4 of the Tele Medicine Practice Guidelines,” Rhea’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde said.
The complaint has been handed over to the Bandra police. It has not been converted into an FIR yet.
Meanwhile, Rhea, today appeared before the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for questioning for the second straight day in the drugs case linked to the death Sushant Rajput. She was earlier questioned for about six hours by the agency for the first time in this case on Sunday.
