Actress Rhea Chakraborty has filed a police complaint against the media for meeting inside her residential complex. According to a Mumbai police officer’s statement to ANI, she asked the police to tell the media not to obstruct her path and to work with her constitutional rights in mind.
Earlier last week, Rhea had shared a video of her father being harassed by the press outside his home. She wrote in her caption: “This is inside my building. The man in this video is my father Indrajit Chakraborty (retired army officer). We have been trying to get out of our house to cooperate with ED, CBI and various investigative authorities to cooperate. There is a threat to my life and the life of my family. We have informed the local police station and have even gone there, unaided. We have informed the investigating authorities to help us reach them, no help came. How is this family going to live? We are only asking for help, to cooperate with the different agencies that have requested it. I ask @mumbaipolice to provide protection so that we can cooperate with these investigative agencies. #safetyformyfamily. In times of covid, these basic law and order restrictions must be provided. Thank you.”
In another video, he filmed the security guard in his building, recounting how he was attacked by the media. “Ram has been the guard of my building for the last 10 years, he is injured, he was beaten by #media. The media has entered my building and injured the security guards and my father. Is this not a crime? Who is responsible for this? Is there any law at all? Are we barbarians? #justiceforram. Will the authorities concerned be kind enough to note that there are also children and the elderly living in this building? Or is this the system we live in? “She had captioned her post. The video is not available on her profile now. Rhea had asked the Mumbai police for protection for her and her family.
