Meanwhile, Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde issued a statement on Sunday said we will start going after people who defamed and tried to destroy the 28-year-old life and morale for two-minute glory. Satish emphasized that people who wrongly accused Rhea in the Sushant Singh Rajput’s death will have to face the truth.
Advocate Satish Maneshinde also singled out the neighbor Dimple Thawani. Maneshinde was quoted saying, “One such person is Dimple Thawani, who claims she is a SSR fan, and believes she is his soulmate due to a past life connection. She claims that someone told her that SSR dropped Rhea home on June 13.”
Earlier last week, as the court granted bail to Rhea and observed that Section 27A (punishment for illicit traffic and harbouring offenders) of the NDPS Act was not applicable in the case, Maneshinde said that her client was the target of witch-hunting. Rhea stayed under custody for 28 days
Rhea was arrested in September on the grounds of drug trail. Enforcement Directorate and CBI also questioned her over money laundering and allegation of abetment of suicide.
ED has found no large-scale misappropriation of funds from the late actor’s account done by Rhea Chakraborty or any other accused as alleged by his family. The federal probing agency has reportedly found no transfer of funds or any other suspicious activity done from any of the late actor’s bank accounts. The ED has also suggested that Sushant’s family had no idea about his finances and that could be the reason they suspected misappropriation of funds from his account.
