After actress Rhea Chakraborty was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the Sushant Singh Rajput case, several people from the film fraternity came out in her support. Rhea was taken into custody by the central agency Tuesday afternoon after three days of questioning.
Actor Kubbra Sait tweeted that Rhea had not yet been declared a murderer and hoped her parents would stay strong. May the universe give Rhea’s parents strength during this devastating time. Stopped by NCB. I’m not a murderer yet. #MediaCircus I wonder your conversations about your shaam ki chai, “he wrote.

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta wrote on Twitter: “Not incitement to suicide, not money laundering, not murder? Now I know why marijuana is not yet legalized in India. “
“Excellent work, India! Enjoy the burning of the witch. And while we’re at it, we can also get Sati back. And no, let’s not lift a finger to stop crimes against women. Let’s dance wildly and applaud the fire, ”wrote filmmaker Alankrita Shrivastava on Twitter.

Producer Rhea Kapoor took to her Instagram Stories to share a statistic on the increasing number of Covid-19 cases in the country and wrote: “Looking for people to blame for our problems, in addition to ourselves and our decisions, we decided to smear a young girl … Now that many lives have been ruined, as our bleeding nation is distracted from its wounds with this cruel and misogynistic reality show, we will remain a nation disillusioned to a fraction of its pride. “
“Fear, shame and hatred is all we will feel. So far the high moral ground and people who love the fear of God. Was this the ‘resilience’ we always prided ourselves on? We were the country that rebuilt itself after so many hurt us and now we are foolishly doing it to ourselves. We have exchanged our rights for cheap entertainment, ”he added.

Mutha Ashok Jain, deputy general manager of the Southwest Region, NCB, told ANI that they had good reason to arrest Rhea. “What she said was enough for the arrest. We have arrested her, it means we had enough, ”he said, adding that they did not recover any contraband from her.
Rhea’s attorney, Satish Maneshinde, called her arrest a “parody of justice.” “Parody of justice. Three central agencies harassed an unmarried woman just because she was in love with a drug addict who suffered from mental health problems for several years and died by suicide due to the consumption of illegally administered drugs and medicines, “the senior defender told ANI.
Sushant died on June 14 and her family has accused Rea of being an accessory to her suicide. The case is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), in addition to the NCB.
