Actor Rhea Chakraborty, in reply to supress the petition filed by late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s sisters, said the actor died “merely five days after” one of his sisters procured a “fabricated prescription’’ that unlawfully prescribed psychotropic substances. She said their actions needs to be investigated. She said such an investigation was “imperative” to check if Rajput took the medicines “which may have contributed to his death or further deteriorated his mental health”.
In a 30-page reply to the petition filed by Sushant Singh Rajput’s sisters, Priyanka and Meetu Singh, submitted through her advocate Satish Maneshinde, the actor’s former girlfriend sought dismissal of the plea and “vehemently denied allegations of acting hand in glove with Mumbai police or any other agency”.
She said the actions of Priyanka and Dr Tarun Kumar, in prescribing psychotropic substances without consultation or examination, violated provisions of Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, and Telemedicine Practice Guidelines, 2020. “The prescription prepared by them in connivance with each other is a fabricated and false document given that the same reflects Sushant as an OPD patient when on the date and time at which the said prescription was sent, Sushant was in Mumbai and not in New Delhi,” said her reply. She also said it was surprising that Dr Kumar, a cardiologist, had prescribed psychotropic substances to a person he did not know and had never met.
She said in her complaint, she has made a “strong prima facie case against the sisters’’. She opposed their quashing petition since investigations are in a “nascent stage”.
