Rhea Chakraborty was granted bail on October 7 by the Bombay High Court and while the actress walked out of prison, reports of Rhea meeting Sushant Singh Rajput on the evening of June 13, a day before his untimely demise, have been making rounds on the internet.
Addressing these reports, her lawyer Satish Maneshinde shared a new statement. He said, "I had said that once Rhea Chakraborty is out on bail we will start going after people, who defamed and tried to destroy her life n morale, for a two-minute glory on electronic media carrying fake news."
He further added, "One such person was Dimple Thawani, a neighbour of RC who claims she is an SSR fan and believes she is his soulmate due to a past life connection. She claims that someone told her that SSR dropped RC home on the 13th."
Maneshinde continued, "It's a baseless rumour by a fan, who is part of the media circus and wants to share the limelight with others who claim to know SSR. Her statement was recorded by CBI today and you will all be glad to know what she said to CBI in her statement. I would request all honest Journalists to go to her now and record what she has to say. Satya Meva Jayate."
Rhea Chakraborty was last month arrested in connection with an alleged drug case being probed after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. Before that, she was also questioned by the Enforcement Directorate over allegations of money laundering made by Sushant's family and CBI over the allegation of abetment of suicide. The actress and her family have been named by the CBI as accused in the suicide abetment case.
CBI had taken up the case on the request of the Bihar government. The FIR was registered following a complaint by Sushant's father KK Singh.
