Rhea Chakraborty-Sushant Singh Rajput case
Sushant Singh Rajput`s death case had always been a mystery, with many accused coming into the limelight, until the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) decided to close the case and declared it a suicide with no foul play involved.
For the uninitiated, the actor was found dead in his Bandra apartment on June 14, 2020. His father accused Rhea Chakraborty, his then-girlfriend, of abetting his alleged suicide. Now, after the CBI verdict, the entire internet has gathered to demand justice for the dirty work done to her.
After her name was cleared in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, the actress was seen visiting Siddhivinayak Temple along with her family on Monday. She was accompanied by her parents and brother, Showik Chakraborty.
The CBI filed a closure report in two cases related to Sushant`s death. The reports were submitted to the Mumbai court, concluding there was no evidence of foul play behind his death.

Rhea`s lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, spoke to the media on Sunday and welcomed the CBI`s decision. He even mentioned the impact that the case had on the Jalebi actress`s mental health.
"Rhea had to undergo untold miseries and was behind bars for 27 days for no fault of hers until Justice Sarang Kotwal of the Bombay High Court released her on bail. Today, I can share that I`m proud to have defended a Fauji family pro bono. This country is still very safe, and every citizen crying for justice has hope due to our vibrant judiciary. Satya Meva Jayate!" Maneshinde said.
Rhea Chakraborty and her brother, Showik, were arrested along with several others by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in an investigation related to drugs in Rajput`s death.
In its conclusive medical-legal opinion to the CBI, forensic experts at AIIMS dismissed the claims of "poisoning and strangling" that had been widely speculated in the case.
Many celebrities came forward and defended Rhea Chakraborty`s struggle at the time of the investigation and her subsequent arrest. Dia Mirza shared a note on Instagram, asking the media to profusely apologize to the actor for allegedly harassing her.
"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. Apologise. That`s the very least you can do," she wrote.
