Sushant Singh Rajput case: Bihar Court dismissed petition to register case against Bollywood Biggies

MUMBAI: A Bihar court on Wednesday dismissed a petition seeking registration of cases against Bollywood biggies including Salman Khan, Ekta Kapoor, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Karan Johar for allegedly abetting actor Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide, citing jurisdictional limitations as per the reports from Times of India.
Chief Judicial Magistrate of Muzaffarpur, Mukesh Kumar dismissed the petition filed by local advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha, pointing out that the matter lies outside the courts jurisdiction.

In the petition filed just three days after the 34 years old actor was found hanging in his Mumbai residence on June 14, Ojha had also named Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut among "witnesses", who came out openly with a couple of angry messages blaming nepotism and favouritism in the film industry for the tragedy.

According to the report from Times of India, a serial litigant, who has in the recent past come up with petitions against top film and political personalities and even foreign heads of states, few of which went beyond the admission stage, Ojha remained unfazed by the CJMs order.

"I will challenge the CJMs decision before the district court. Bihar is in pain over the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. We must act to bring those who drove a jovial young man like him to take such an extreme step to justice", he told reporters.

Quite a few film personalities, especially those from Bihar, have expressed their scepticalities about foul play in the Patna-born actor's death and sought a CBI inquiry.

These include Shekhar Suman and singer-turned- politician and BJP MP Manoj Tiwari.
