Hansal Mehta Slams Rhea Chakrabortys Media Trial; Says Media Is Not Competent To Examine The Case

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta took to Twitter and called out members of media in a series of tweets. He wrote, "God forbid if the girl being accused and being subjected to a trial by media does harm to herself. Will Arnab, all the politicians and all those invited on these media witch-hunts be held accountable? Let her guilt/innocence be proved in a court of law for heaven's sake. Last evening I met people with no remote connection to the film industry making sweeping statements and playing judge. Result of an exploitative and conscienceless media that conducts its own banana court for its own vested interests. At whose cost?"
