Mumbai: Mumbai police have registered an FIR against Sushant Singh Rajput’s sisters and others after the actor’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty claimed that they prescribed drugs to him without consultation.

“An offense has been registered against Sushant”s sisters Priyanka Singh and Meetu Singh, Delhi-based doctor Tarun Kumar and others,” an official said here on Tuesday, September 8.

“The case has registered under sections of IPC and Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at Bandra Police Station in Mumbai,” the official said.
