As per TOI and NDTV reports, CBI has recorded the statement of Rhea Chakraborty’s neighbour Dimple Thawani, who had claimed Rhea met Sushant on June 13.
However, the neighbour has failed to substantiate her claim and the agency has warned her against spreading false information, as per sources.
Sources said when the CBI questioned Thawani, she said she never saw Rajput and Rhea together on June 13, but had heard someone saying this.
The NDTV report also stated that the woman reportedly told the CBI that she did not see Sushant Singh Rajput drop Rhea Chakraborty to her home on June 13.
Even Rhea Chakraborty’s mother Sandhya had commented on the neighbour’s claims, saying they were ‘baseless’.
“She was a huge fan of Sushant who came over to our place to meet him once. Why she’d say something like this without proof is beyond me. One just has to look at Sushant or Rhea’s cellular location to know this whole thing is just another lie,” Sandhya had said.
Meanwhile, Rhea’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde said that she will be requesting CBI to take legal proceedings against whoever made ‘fake and false’ claims.
Maneshinde slammed the neighbour saying – “We will start going after people who defamed and tried to destroy her (Rhea) life…for a 2-minute glory on electronic media carrying fake news. One such person was Dimple Thawani, a neighbour of RC, who claims she is a SSR fan, and believes she is his soulmate due to a past life connection. She claims that someone told her that SSR dropped Rhea home on the 13th. It’s a baseless rumour by a fan who is part of the media circus.”
“We will be forwarding a list of people to CBI who made fake and false claims on TV and Electronic Media including carrying mobile recording and fake stories on SSR case with particular reference to Rhea Chakraborty to go after them and record their statements. We will request CBI to take legal proceedings against them for misleading the investigations,” Maneshinde said.
