Rhea
Chakraborty's
lawyer
Satish
Maneshinde
announced
on
October
12
that
his
client
will
be
initiating
legal
action
against
those
who
tried
to
defame
the
actress
in
the
matter
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
sudden
death.
Today,
Rhea
Chakraborty
has
filed
a
complaint
with
the
Superintendent
of
Police,
Central
Bureau
of
Investigation
(CBI).
FilmiBeat
has
a
copy
of
the
complaint.
Maneshinde
had
specifically
mentioned
Rhea's
neighbour
Dimple
Thawani,
as
she
reportedly
claimed
that
someone
told
her
Rhea
had
been
dropped
home
by
Sushant
on
June
13,
a
day
before
his
death.
Rhea
Chakraborty's
complaint
starts
by
stating
that
the
CBI
has
been
directed
by
the
Supreme
Court
of
India
to
investigate
the
matters
related
to
Sushant's
death.
She
continued,
saying
that
she
was
interrogated
by
the
CBI
for
more
than
five
days
with
regard
to
the
case,
during
which
time,
she
said,
many
media
channels
"carried
false
and
bogus
stories
without
any
material
to
substantiate
these
patently
false
and
fabricated
claims
in
order
to
achieve
their
own
ends".
Rhea
Chakraborty
further
claimed
that
Mrs
Dimple
Thawani
made
"false
and
bogus
allegations
against
her,
knowing
them
to
be
false,
to
mislead
the
investigation".
She
said
that
one
such
false
allegation
was
that
Sushant
dropped
Rhea
to
her
residence
in
his
car
on
June
13,
2020.
The
Bollywood
actress
pointed
out
that
the
said
conduct
is
punishable
under
Sections
203
and
211
of
the
Indian
Penal
Code
and
noted
that
the
serious
offences
were
made
on
Republic
TV
channel
.
She
requested
the
authorities
to
take
cognizance
of
the
matter
and
initiate
appropriate
action
against
the
offenders.
Rhea
Chakraborty
was
arrested
by
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
on
September
8,
2020,
in
a
drug
case
that
emerged
from
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
probe.
She
was
arrested
for
allegedly
procuring
marijuana
on
behalf
of
Sushant.
Rhea
Chakraborty
was
released
on
bail
by
the
Bombay
High
Court
on
October
7,
2020.
Many
have
slammed
the
media
reportage
of
Sushant's
death
case,
particularly
surrounding
Rhea,
calling
it
'trial
by
media'
and
'witch-hunt'.
