A day after Rhea Chakraborty's conversation with drug peddlers was exposed by the Enforcement Directorate alleging “usage and dealing” of drugs the entire case has taken a new twist. Reacting to the same, Sushant Singh Rajput’s father’s lawyer, Vikas Singh stated that the actor could have been drugged to keep his mind in control or make him docile. In his interview to Times Now, Vikas Singh stated that this was a highly illegal and criminal thing to do and even the servants had stated that Sushant used to sleep all the while on a different floor while Rhea and others would party on the next floor. The senior advocate added that this definitely looked like an incident of actual drugging with Sushant being administered something without his knowledge and this could have ultimately have led to his death.
WhatsApp chat reportedly indicate that Rhea was allegedly using illegal drugs such as MDMA, Hashish, and Marijuana and was taking instructions from an employee at a talent management agency to administer a drug to Sushant. However, Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer had issued a statement on her part, that clarified her stand on the drug controversy. “Rhea has never consumed drugs in her life time ever. She’s ready for a blood test any time,” read a statement from senior advocate Satish Manshinde, who is representing the Jalebi actress. Earlier, Vikas Singh in a statement on Monday said, that Rhea will be summoned by the CBI only after it has done its spadework. “They are examining everybody and once they are able to do their homework properly then only they will start grilling Rhea,” he said. He also hinted at the possibility of Rhea’s arrest if she “does not cooperate with the investigation or gives evasive answers.”
