On July 16, Rhea had shared a picture of Sushant's smiling face on her social media handle and tagged Home Minister in a te where she seemingly had " interest of justice" while demanding a CBI enquiry.

I only want to understand what pressures prompted Sushant to take this step. Yours sincerely Rhea Chakraborty #satyamevajayate"
