Actor Sushant Singh Rajput's father met Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar in Faridabad on Saturday, where he assured the family would get "justice" following the transfer of the high-profile case - which has seen a political twist with sniping between Bihar and Maharashtra governments - to the CBI.
Mr Rajput's sister, Rani Singh, who is married to Faridabad Police Commissioner OP Singh, was also present at the meeting.
The meeting with Mr Khattar comes days after a telephone conversation with the Bihar police chief that resulted in the recommendation for the CBI to called in. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who was seen to be under pressure from political leaders in his state to make that call, had said he would only do so if the actor's family wanted the central agency involved.
The meeting also comes less than a week after Mr Rajput's father, KK Singh, alleged he had approached Mumbai Police in February to warn them of a threat to his son's life. They took no action, he claimed.
Mumbai police, who have said there is no evidence at this point to show financial irregularities on the part of Ms Chakraborty, also said they received no written complaint.
They did, however, say "one OP Singh (IPS), brother-in-law of late Sushant Singh Rajput, sent WhatsApp messages to the then DCP Zone 9 regarding this matter".
According to the Mumbai cops Mr Singh had urged them to "resolve this matter" without a formal complaint being filed. Mumbai police said they told Mr Singh this was not possible. Mr Rajput's father said he had therefore been forced to approach police in Patna, and that they "swung into action".
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14
Earlier today Mr Rajput's father's lawyer told the Supreme Court that there was enough proof to show that actions by Rhea Chakraborty, his son's girlfriend, over the past 12 months had led to his son's death.
Mr Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14.
Mumbai police ruled it a suicide, but the actor's family have blamed Ms Chakraborty for his death; his father filed a case with Bihar police accusing her of mental harassment and illegally transferring Rs 15 crore from a Mumbai bank account belonging to his son.
Ms Chakraborty, who has denied these charges, has moved the Supreme Court asking for the FIR to be transferred to Mumbai, citing the influence Mr Rajput's family has in Patna.
In his affidavit the father said Ms Chakraborty's petition was invalid since the CBI had taken up the case.
However, action by the CBI, which has filed a preliminary case against Ms Chakraborty and five others, is pending the top court's verdict on Ms Chakraborty's petition.
There are also questions over the CBI's jurisdiction in this case, given that the alleged crime took place in Maharashtra; the Uddhav Thackeray government in that state has not invited the CBI as yet.
Ms Chakraborty, who had earlier appealed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to assign the case to the CBI, has since said calling the central agency in while the Supreme Court was hearing her petition would be "totally illegal and beyond any known legal principles, affecting the Federal Structure of the Nation".
