Sushant Singh death case: Maharashtra  Human Rights Commission questions Rhea Chakraborty's morgue 'visit'

| @indiablooms | Aug 26, 2020, at 11:26 pm

Mumbai/UNI: Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission(MSHRC) on Wednesday sought explanation from the Mumbai Police and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation on the news that Rhea Chakraborty apparently visited the morgue where Sushant Singh Rajput’s body was kept.

Taking a suo moto cognizance of the matter, it has ordered the police and civic authorities to submit their detailed explanation in the matter by August 31.

Official sources said the MSHRC top brass had viewed video and news reports of Rhea Chakraborty's June 14 visit to the mortuary of R N Cooper Hospital here.

Later, the Commission directed its' Legal Wing to check the relevant provisions pertaining to this as only the immediate family members can be permitted in the morgue.

It has asked the hospital dean to explain the circumstances behind Rhea getting permission and access to the morgue and even view the mortal remains of the late actor on June 14 – hours after his death was discovered.

After the videos went viral on social media and television, the MSHRC had received several complaints in the matter last month following which it has initiated suo moto action.

The sources said since entry is not permitted in morgues to persons not related to the deceased, all those found involved in the matter would in all probability be required to face the relevant legal consequences.
