The Centre had earlier informed Supreme Court that it has accepted the recommendation of Bihar government for CBI probe into the FIR lodged at Patna by Sushant's father KK Singh. He has Rhea and six others of various offences including abetment of suicide.

Sushant, 34, was found hanging in his apartment in Mumbai on June 14. Police said he died by suicide. The Mumbai Police has been probing the case since then. However, Sushant's family, friend and several of his fans have been pressing for a CBI investigation for a fair probe.

On Tuesday, Shweta had urged for an early decision from the Supreme Court in the pending hearing for a CBI probe into Sushant's death case. Shweta tweeted to say that the family has been "hopeful and patiently waiting" for the decision. 

"Requesting for an early decision from the Supreme Court, we have been very hopeful and have been patiently waiting. Every minute of delay is causing pain and heartbreak. #CBIForSSR," Shweta tweeted.
