Filmmakers Anubhav Sinha and Hansal Mehta on Tuesday expressed concern about actress Rhea Chakraborty, who remains in court custody.
A special court in Mumbai on Tuesday extended judicial custody of Rhea and her brother Showik Chakraborty until October 20, in a drug-related case that emerged as part of the investigation into the death of Rhea’s boyfriend, the late actor Sushant. Singh Rajput.
Anubhav Sinha tweeted: “That girl has been in jail for a month. Seriously guys !!!”
Hansal Mehta wrote on the microblogging site: “Please remember me. What exactly is @ Tweet2Rhea detained for? And why is she still detained?”
Reacting to Sinha’s tweet, screenwriter Kanika Dhillon wrote: “Yeah! Let that sink in … she’s already been in jail for A MONTH! Reflect. And at least NOW step forward and support her. to get out of JAIL! #ReleaseRheaChakraborty “.
Reacting to Mehta’s tweet, filmmaker Onir wrote: “Why is @ Tweet2Rhea still in custody? Is it really essential for the investigation or just to satisfy a fake 80k account ranting … hate factory and tirade?”
On Monday offering an explanation to netizens asking about Rhea, actor Gulshan Devaiah tweeted from his unverified account: “Let’s take a moment please. The CBI hasn’t arrested Rhea. It’s the NCB because ka gochi drugs hai. It seems silly to demand her release on the basis of the AIIMS report because that has nothing to do with why she was arrested along with some others. “
