Supreme Court Upholds Quashing of CBI's Lookout Circulars Against Rhea Chakraborty

The Supreme Court criticized the CBI's petition as frivolous, noting the accused's societal roots and cooperation with investigations.

The Supreme Court dismissed an appeal challenging the Bombay High Court's decision to cancel lookout circulars against Rhea Chakraborty and her family.
The court criticized the CBI, Maharashtra government, and Bureau of Immigration for filing a frivolous petition due to the high-profile nature of the accused.
Lookout circulars were initially issued in 2020 after Sushant Singh Rajput's family filed an FIR, leading to a CBI investigation.
Rhea Chakraborty and her family were also questioned in a money laundering case linked to Rajput's death, but the court emphasized their cooperation.
The case has been under scrutiny since Sushant Singh Rajput's death in June 2020, with various agencies, including the CBI and NCB, involved in investigations.
