“She was pronounced guilty even before she was questioned by the police. The kind of stories, information and narrative that were circulated,” he said.
Maneshinde pointed out the fact that Chakraborty had not even lived with the late Sushant Singh Rajput when he died by suicide, and was asked by Rajput to leave the house six days prior he was found dead. He said it was obvious that there was no proximate connection between Rhea and Rajput’s death.
