Actress Rhea Chakraborty has been arrested after three days of interrogation by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in a drugs case linked to actor Sushant Singh Rajput바카라s death in June바카라a case that has divided public opinion and put the spotlight on a section of media that is accused of abandoning journalistic ethics and decency.

Rhea, 28, who was living with the actor till a few days before he was found hanging in his Mumbai home, was remanded in judicial custody till September 22. The court rejected Rhea바카라s bail application. The NCB told the court that she was an 바카라active member바카라 of a drugs syndicate and procured drugs for Sushant. Her lawyer Satish Maneshinde said: 바카라Three central agencies are hounding a single woman, just because she was in love with a drug addict and a person suffering from mental health issues.바카라

His comments and the NCB바카라s contention that Rhea used to 바카라score바카라 drugs바카라ganja or marijuana바카라for Sushant paint the actor in poor light바카라that he was a 바카라drug addict바카라 and long dead to defend himself.  That brings the question바카라would he have approved of being outed as a drug addict? Is this not an irony that the campaign to get him justice posthumously has actually ended up tarnishing his image?     

The NCB had earlier arrested Rhea바카라s brother Showik and another co-accused, Samuel Miranda. Rhea is facing an abetment to suicide case in connection with the Sushant바카라s death, which the CBI is investigating, and a money laundering case is with the ED.

Facing a brutal media trial, Rhea, however, found support from many Bollywood personalities. The message on Rhea바카라s T-shirt on the day of her arrest바카라바카라Roses are red, violets are blue, Let바카라s smash patriarchy, me and you바카라바카라trended on social media with her supporters posting the slogan in solidarity. Those who shared the message include Sonam Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, Vidya Balan, Anurag Kashyap, Shabana Azmi and Farhan Akhtar. 바카라He (Sushant) engaged in drugs and suffered from mental illness. Why is this so difficult to accept? Why is a woman incriminated and called names for an adult man바카라s life choice,바카라 tweeted Atika Chohan, co-writer of the Deepika Padukone-starrer Chhapaak.

On the other side, actress Kangana Ranaut, who is running a vocal campaign against what she calls rampant drug use in Bollywood,  returned from her Manali home to Mumbai. She has been given Y category security following protests and threats after she likened Mumbai to PoK and made critical remarks against Mumbai police in connection with the Sushant case. Ranaut had crossed swords with Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut after he said that she should not return to Mumbai if she felt unsafe in the city. The Maharashtra government said police will probe allegations of drug abuse by Kangana, while alterations made at her Mumbai bungalow came under the city civic authority바카라s scanner.
