The hearing is going on right now and it had actually scheduled to begin earlier. However, due to some technical glitch, the hearing was delayed.

KK Singh had also filed a counter-affidavit before Supreme Court stating the investigation in the FIR has already been transferred to CBI and thus Rhea Chakraborty’s plea seeking transfer of probe to Mumbai stands infructuous.

According to Times Now, in his response to the petition filed by Rhea, Sushant’s father alleges that prime suspect Rhea has influenced key witness Siddharth Pithani. He also questioned how the mail sent to Mumbai Police by Siddharth Pithani where he complained against Bihar Police got into Rhea’s hands. It has also been alleged that the mail sent by Siddharth Pithani was after Bihar Police had filed FIR against Rhea Chakraborty and on the eve of the actress moving Supreme Court with her petition.
