Overview

• The special CBI magistrate court formally served summons to Chakraborty to respond to her own complaint against Priyanka Singh, Meetu Singh and Dr Tarun Nathu Ram over alleged improper procurement of prescription drugs
• In March the CBI filed parallel closure reports in Mumbai and Patna courts, concluding that Rajput’s death was a suicide and that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute any accused
• Forensic specialists at AIIMS dismissed claims of poisoning and strangulation in their medico-legal opinion, supporting the agency’s decision to end its probes
• The Patna closure report cleared Chakraborty and her family of involvement in the FIR filed by Rajput’s father, who had alleged financial exploitation and abetment of suicide
• The next hearing is scheduled for August 12 when the magistrate will decide whether to accept the closure reports or order further investigation based on Chakraborty’s submission
