Rhea
Chakraborty's
lawyer
Satish
Maneshinde
has
reacted
to
Smita
Parikh's
claims
that
he
has
not
charged
a
penny
from
the
actress
in
the
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
death
case.
Smita
Parikh
is
reportedly
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
family
friend.
Satish
Maneshinde
clarified
to
Filmibeat
that
Rhea
Chakraborty
said
that
the
lawyer
has
not
raised
any
bill
and
not
that
he
is
charging
no
fee.
He
said
that
Smita
Parikh
has
made
a
false
statement
that
he
is
giving
his
services
for
free.
"Smita
Parikh
has
also
made
a
false
statement
that
I
went
to
her
(Rhea
Chakraborty)
on
my
own
and
offered
my
services
free.
Rhea
came
to
me
through
my
Army
friends
and
a
Maharashtrian
family.
I
don't
approach
clients,
and
questions
about
fees
are
between
me
and
the
client,''
Maneshinde
said
firmly.
Smita
Parikh
has
also
reportedly
said
that
Rhea
believes
in
the
murder
theory
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
and
she
recorded
the
conversation,
to
which
Maneshinde
reacted
saying,
"Rhea
also
has
a
recorded
version
of
her
conversation
with
Smita.''
There
is
also
a
previous
WhatsApp
chat
between
Rhea
Chakraborty
and
Smita
Parikh
that
has
been
leaked,
which
clearly
indicates
that
Smita
Parikh
was
on
Rhea's
side
and
was
understanding
her
plight
as
Sushant's
live-in
partner.
In
a
WhatsApp
conversation
in
the
first
week
of
July
2020,
Smita
and
Rhea
talk
about
how
the
Me
Too
allegation
against
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
was
intentional
and
planned,
and
had
come
back
to
haunt
him.
Smita
tells
her
it
was
an
old
thing
and
knew
it
was
a
false
allegation
and
that
Sanjana
Sanghi
(Sushant's
co-star
in
Dil
Bechara)
had
taken
all
the
allegations
back.
In
the
same
chat,
Rhea
Chakraborty
had
said
that
Sanjana
Sanghi
is
pretending
to
be
Sushant's
friend
now,
and
that
Sushant
was
scared
of
Sanjana
and
hence
didn't
want
to
promote
the
film
(Dil
Bechara).
Rhea
and
Smita
are
also
seen
talking
about
not
knowing
who
Sandip
Ssingh
is
and
whether
it's
time
for
Rhea
to
speak
up
about
the
case.
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
was
found
dead
in
his
apartment
in
Bandra,
Mumbai,
on
June
14,
2020.
The
case
of
his
death
was
under
investigation
from
the
Mumbai
Police
and
later
transferred
to
the
Central
Bureau
of
Investigation
after
being
probed
by
the
Enforcement
Directorate.
Now,
with
more
details
being
revealed
in
the
case,
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
has
also
stepped
in
to
investigate
a
drug
cartel
angle.
Rhea
Chakraborty
is
being
questioned
by
the
CBI
today
at
the
DRDO
Guest
House
in
Mumbai.
