Satish Maneshinde, the lawyer representing Rhea Chakraborty, responded to a press conference held on Wednesday by Vikas Singh, the lawyer hired by Sushant Singh Rajput’s family. Maneshinde said that Vikas Singh has presented a “late defense”.
He told Aaj Tak that the statements of Sushant’s three sisters and two brothers-in-law were recorded on June 16 by the Mumbai police. She asked why the family has been silent about their objections to having their statements recorded in Marathi. “This is a late defense. The truth is slowly emerging, ”he said.
At her press conference, Vikas Singh had said that the family had objected to their statements being recorded in Marathi. “The family has never given any statement that Sushant died by suicide. These statements were recorded by the Mumbai police in Marathi. The family also objected: “Please do not write in Marathi if you want us to sign.” They were forced to sign a written declaration in Marathi. They had no idea what was being written. “

According to him, the statement has not been shared with the family. “We have not been provided with that statement. We don’t know what the Mumbai police recorded, we know what we said, ”he said. When asked if the statement was read to Sushant’s family in Hindi before their signatures were taken, the lawyer said: “It was written in Marathi, that’s all. Nothing was read to anyone. Even if you read in Marathi … If I write something in a language you don’t know and then read what I want you to hear … If I don’t know Marathi, how will I check if what you are telling me? is what is written. It is simple logic! “
When asked about allegations that a “malicious campaign” was being carried out against Sushant’s family, Maneshinde said that Rhea and her family believe that a campaign has been carried out against them.
Sushant died on June 14. Her father has accused Rea of being an accessory to suicide. The case is being investigated by the Central Investigation Office, the Narcotics Control Office and the Enforcement Directorate.
