As per Superintendent of Police (SP), Patna (Central) City, Vinay Tiwari, the FIR has been filed at Rajiv Nagar police station and the teams will conduct a thorough investigation to solve the case in Mumbai.

He, however, said that it was too early in the investigation phase to predict who all would be questioned in connection with the case and whether Rhea and her family will be brought to Patna for questioning or not.

Earlier, former Additional Solicitor General (ASG) and lawyer of the father of the late actor, Vikas Singh, had said that the Patna police should investigate the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death, and the FIR was registered there as part of the cause of action lies in the place where his family lived.

"The only FIR in connection with the case has been lodged at Patna, so we want the Patna police to investigate the whole matter. The family has not demanded a CBI investigation yet," Singh said.

In the complaint made to Rajeev Nagar police station in-charge, KK Singh alleged that Rhea Chakraborty and her relatives 'committed fraud' and 'pressurised the actor for financial gains'. Sushant's father alleged that Chakraborty 'got in touch with the actor with a motive to establish herself in the film industry using his contacts and she and her relatives started interfering in his affairs'.
