Sushant Singh Rajput case: Dia Mirza asks media to 'apologise' to Rhea Chakraborty for causing 'anguish'

The CBI on Sunday filed two separate closure reports related to the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, one in the abetment to suicide case filed by his father, and another by the actor's rumoured girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty against his sisters, officials said on Saturday.

Chakraborty’s advocate Satish Maneshinde hailed the closure report and thanked the CBI for "having thoroughly investigated every aspect of the case from all angles".

Actress Dia Mirza has now reacted to the incident after CBI's report and stated that the media should apologise to Rhea Chakraborty.

In her Instagram story, the actress wrote that the media "caused deep anguish and harassment" to Chakraborty when the case of Sushant Singh Rajput was going on.

"Who in the media will have the grace to put out a written apology to Rhea Chakraborty and her family?" the story read.

"You went on a witch hunt. You caused deep anguish and harassment just for TRP's. Apologise. That's the very least you can do," she added, tagging Rhea Chakraborty.

Rajput was found hanging from the ceiling of his apartment in suburban Bandra in Mumbai on June 14, 2020. He was 34. His postmortem conducted at Cooper Hospital had concluded that the actor died due to asphyxia.

The CBI investigated the two separate cases -- filed by K K Singh with Patna Police accusing Chakraborty of abetment to suicide and siphoning off Rs 15 crore from the actor's accounts; and the second filed by Chakraborty in Bandra accusing Rajput's sisters of giving medicines to him on the basis of bogus prescription issued by a Delhi doctor.

In the case filed before Bandra Police, which was later taken over by the CBI, Chakraborty had alleged that Rajput died five days after these medicines were wrongly prescribed to him.
