Yesterday, a major development happened in the SSR Case, as Rhea Chakraborty was granted bail by Bombay High Court after nearly spending a month in jail.
In an NDTV interview, Rhea’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde called her ‘Bengali tigress’ and revealed how she spent her time in jail; conducting yoga classes and trying to remain positive.
Maneshinde said that he had gone personally to prison to see how she had been doing. He commented that she lived like a ‘commoner’ and being an ‘army girl’, fought the conditions and adjusted.
“I personally went to a jail to see a client after so many years, because she was hounded, and I wanted to see the condition that she was in. I was fortunate to see that she was in good spirits. She looked after herself in the jail. She used to conduct yoga classes for herself and her jail inmates.”
He further added, “She adjusted herself in the jail, because she could not get home food because of the pandemic, and she lived with the inmates as if she was a commoner. Being an army girl, she fought the conditions like a battle, and she is ready to face any person who is trying to accuse her and harm her interests.”
Rhea’s lawyer went on to add that Sushant Singh Rajput’s family were ‘vindictive’ towards her, and that was the reason she was hounded by all agencies.
“The reason that she was hounded, was just because the family was after her. I don’t know for what reason, the family seems to be very vindictive as far as Rhea Chakraborty is concerned. I’ve been saying that the central agencies – the CBI, the NCB, the ED, have been hounding her only because she was the housewife or the live-in partner of this gentleman.”
He also called out the media channels for ‘fake news’- “Media channels, particularly those which were hounding her, were doing it only for the TRPs. They were formatting all this fake news and bogus stories.”
He called for the channels to be brought to court.
The Bombay High court has granted Rhea bail with strict conditions which are; report every day for 10 days to Mumbai Police and before the NCB once in a month for the next six months. It has also directed her to submit a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and not to tamper with evidence while out on bail.
Rhea’s brother Showik Chakraborty is still in jail as his bail was denied.
