#JusticeForRhea trends on Twitter after actress breaks silence on Sushant death probe

| @indiablooms | Aug 28, 2020, at 05:06 pm

New Delhi/IBNS: A support for actress Rhea Chakraborty, the prime accused in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, grew on social media on Friday, a day after she gave twin interviews to electronics media claiming she was innocent.

Rhea, whose name featured in a drug probe by the Narcotics Control Bureau over fresh allegations based on some alleged WhatsApp messages recovered from her phone, said she had never consumed marijuana but Sushant used to take it.

The actress, who was the girlfriend of Sushant, said she was ready for a blood test to prove innocent.

In an interview with India Today, Rhea, who is in the eye of the storm, said she had also thought of committing suicide due to the alleged "witch-hunt" in the whole death case where she was getting defamed.

One Tushar Aryan tweeted, "today i seened the interview of riya chakravarti.and i feel we are doing so wrong with riya. she is also a citizen of our india and that the truth also will out threw cbi.and aajtak do so gd work. and i started #justiceforrhea for indiangirl."

Kartikeya Gautam tweeted, " #JusticeForRhea it's high time we start taking stand for her."

"This interview is the best thing @Tweet2Rhea did and should continue to do non stop ..Only way to check the lies of fake media is by putting out the truth in the same speed as them Nothing is more dangerous than silence in today’s times," filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma tweeted. 

Sushant, who was born in Bihar, had committed suicide at his own flat in Mumbai's Bandra on Jun 14.

Though the Mumbai Police initially stated it to be a suicide case, Sushant's father KK Singh lodged a First Information Report (FIR) with Bihar Police alleging that Rhea had siphoned off Rs 15 crore from his son's account and other accounts of companies floated with his investments.

As per the recommendation by the Bihar government, the death case was handed over to the CBI by the central government.

The CBI began its probe last week by questioning the Bollywood star's staff member and meeting the Mumbai cops.
