Actress Dia Mirza has spoken out in support of Rhea Chakraborty, calling on the media to issue a public apology after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) ruled out foul play in the Sushant Singh Rajput case.
Sushant Singh Rajput Case: Dia Mirza calls for public apology by the media to Rhea Chakraborty after CBI clears her
Reacting to the latest developments, Dia Mirza criticized the media’s role in vilifying Rhea throughout the investigation. In an Instagram post, she stated, “Who in the media will have the grace to put out a written apology to Rhea Chakraborty and her family? You went on a witch hunt. You caused deep anguish and harassment just for TRPs. Apologize. That’s the very least you can do.”
The controversy surrounding Rhea intensified in September 2020, when she and her brother Showik were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) as part of a drug investigation linked to Rajput’s case. Despite spending nearly a month in jail, Rhea was eventually granted bail, with no substantial evidence proving any criminal involvement.
Her lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, also voiced his concerns regarding the media trial she faced. He described the relentless harassment they faced, further stating that she suffered the inhuman treatment. He further revealed that the family endured significant pressure and threats during the investigation but remained determined to clear their names. Maneshinde also criticized the spread of misinformation during the pandemic, suggesting that the media’s focus on the case was fuelled by public demand for sensational news.
The final report submitted by the CBI mentioned that there was no evidence of any wrongdoing by Rhea or her brother Showik, or their family. The case, which gained massive public attention, stemmed from the tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput in June 2020 at his Mumbai residence.
With the case officially closed, public figures like Dia Mirza are urging the media to acknowledge its role in fueling baseless allegations and to extend an apology to Rhea and her family.
