Justice Hrishikesh Roy is hearing the plea moved by Actress Rhea Chakraborty seeking the transfer of the case lodged against her and others in relation to the suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput from Patna to Mumbai.

The Mumbai Police had begun a probe into the matter when Singh's father lodged an FIR in Patna. In his plea, Rhea has questioned the jurisdiction of the Patna authorities in the matter.

The CBI later took up the probe, and named Chakraborty in its FIR. In an additional affidavit, Chakraborty has also questioned the manner in which the CBI has taken over the probe, apart from registering protest over the media trial being conducted in the case.
