BJP leader Ram Kadam on Monday said that it is because of the “creaseless and determined” efforts of the media that led to a “ray of hope” for the grieving family of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Kadam was responding to actor Taapsee Pannu who spoke against the alleged ‘media trial’ of Rhea Chakraborty, who is the main accused in Sushant’s death case.

‘Soon expect justice’

Taapsee in a tweet had said, “I didn’t know Sushant on a personal level nor do I know Rhea but what I know is, it only takes to be a human to understand how wrong it is to overtake judiciary to convict someone who isn’t proven guilty. Trust the law of the land for your sanity and the deceased’s sanctity.” Taapsee also retweeted a note by South actor Lakshmi Manchu in which she demanded justice not just for Sushant but for Rhea as well.

Countering Taapsee, the BJP leader said that the “cunning Maharashtra government had already botched up the probe declaring it as suicide.” He added that the investigating agencies are probing the case and she should “soon expect justice”

According to sources, the CBI questioned Rhea about her claims that Sushant suffered from ‘mental illness.’ She was also asked about her Europe trip in 2019 with Sushant, and about her claims that he had ‘break down’ at a hotel in Italy. The accused was asked about the doctor’s visits, prescriptions and medicines that SSR allegedly had, and why she let him have drugs and other narcotics, if that was the case, when he was under medication, as the combination could have lethal consequences.
