Sushant's family slams Rhea's compliant

Countering Rhea Chakraborty's complaint filed with Mumbai Police on Monday, Sushant Singh Rajput's family lawyer Vikas Singh in a press briefing said that this is Rhea's 'desperate attempt to derail the investigation, tarnish the image of the family' and to 'keep Mumbai Police jurisdiction alive' in the case. 

Vikas Singh in his statement said, "The complaint clearly exhibits that this is an effort to keep the jurisdiction of Mumbai Police alive in this matter when the Supreme Court has clearly said that if there any complaints filed in the death case will be investigated by CBI. So, this is a clear attempt to keep the Mumbai Police alive in this matter so that they can do some mischief and ensure Sushant's family does not get justice.
