After Sushant's death in June, the Mumbai Police had filed an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and started investigating the matter. They questioned over 50 people, including Bollywood stars, in connection with the case.
However, it took a drastic turn after Sushant's father, KK Singh, filed a complaint in Patna against his alleged girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, thereby accusing her of fraud and abetment to suicide.

But, the fresh complaint led to a turf war between police forces of Bihar and Mumbai.
Separately, Rhea filed a petition in Supreme Court, seeking to transfer the case against her from Patna to Mumbai.
The top court held the first hearing in the matter on Tuesday. It is expected to conclude today if the case would be investigated by CBI or Mumbai Police.

However, no "substantial direct transfers" to Rhea's accounts were found by them, per reports.
