The CBI is currently investigating the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. On 28 July, an FIR was filed in Patna against Sushant's partner Rhea Chakraborty based on a complaint by his father KK Singh. Rhea has been accused of abetment to suicide and embezzlement of funds.
Now, in an interview to India Today, Rhea's lawyer Satish Maneshinde said that his client always did what Sushant asked her to do.
Maneshinde further stated that the first doctor Sushant consulted was in 2013 and the last on 8 June, the day Rhea left his house. "Therefore Rhea did nothing without the prescription and advice of doctors".
Maneshinde added that in November, one of Sushant's sisters had taken her brother's treatment details from his ex-manager Shruti Modi. "Sushant's family was aware of his alleged mental health condition as far back as November 2019. As per a report on 8th of June, there was an exchange between Sushant and his other sister Priyanka, wherein she is seen advising him to take medicines and even procured a prescription".
Maneshinde said that the doctor who had prescribed the medicines had not even met Sushant, so it is a violation of the Mental Health Act.
Rhea's lawyer also said that all the WhatsApp and other electronic evidence are admissible in a court of law.
