Here’s full one-sided statement  

Rhea is daughter of an Indian Army Surgeon and a Maharashtrian  House Wife. She has been summoned by Mumbai police a State of Maharashtra ncy and Enforcement Directorate a Union of India ncy on several dates for inquiry , investigations and garing electronic evidence. She has appeared on all appointed dates when ever summoned as a law abiding citizen. Both ncies have investigated her relationship with SSR and her financial status at great length. 

Mumbai Police , and ED have collected all Electronic, Forensic and Medical including DNA evidence in case. Bank Statements, Income Tax Returns , CCTV , CDR and Electronic Data are with both ncies. Till today thing incriminating has been found against her. Investigation Report of Police is lying with Supreme Court in a Sealed Cover. Even if Rhea is to be investigated by a third ncy , she will face it. Thankfully in this Electronic thing can be concocted or manufactured. Media is requested t to speculate its own ories and make unsubstantiated claims. She has remained silent to such allegations. Her silence should t be mistaken for a weakness. Truth will remain same.

Rhea and Sushant were kwn to each or over past several years as y were both working in Indian Film Industry. Rhea and Sushant had maintained a cordial friendship and would occasionally communicate with each or. In April 2019, Rhea and Sushant had attended a party hosted by film fraternity and shortly reafter y began dating each or. Even though y spent a lot of time in each or’s homes , y officially moved in toger in December 2019 and live at Mount Blanc, Bandra, till Rhea left on 8th of June 2020.

It is total nsense and an afterthought to make allegations after a period of 40 days , manner in which it has been made before Bihar Police. allegations whatsoever were made till 27th July 2020 by any body in family before Mumbai Police or to any authority. ir statements were recorded by police in Mumbai. y are educated and have an IPS officer OP Singh in family. allegations are totally concocted and fabricated for ulterior purposes. Rhea denies all allegations of abetment of suicide , misappropriation of funds and ors or orwise. Both Mumbai Police and Enforcement Directorate have been handed over all of Rhea’s financial documents which clearly show falsity of such allegations. She has t received a single transfer from Sushants Accounts. All her Income Tax Returns have been examined by Police as well as ED. Neir of m have found anything incriminating against

In initial months of ir relationship, when Rhea had visited Sushant’s house , his sister Priyanka and her husband Siddharth were living with him. On one night, in and around April 2019, Rhea and Priyanka had gone out to a party. Priyanka consumed copious amounts of alcohol and was behaving inappropriately with men as well as women at that party. So, Rhea insisted that y return to Sushant’s home. Upon returning, Sushant and his sister continued drinking alcohol while Rhea retired for night as she had a shoot next morning. Rhea was asleep in Sushant’s room when she suddenly awoke to find Priyanka had got into bed with her and was groping her. Rhea was extremely shocked and demanded that she leave room immediately.  Subsequently, Rhea herself left house. reafter, Rhea informed Sushant as to what had transpired and Sushant got into an argument with his sister regarding same. That due to aforesaid incident, relationship between Sushant’s family and Rhea had been strained since inception. Even after his death when a list of 20 people was made to attend Funeral, Rheas name was t included in list and hence excluded from  attending Funeral. 

Sushant had been calling his family, informing m of his decision to move out of Mumbai and requesting m to come meet him. After several days of Sushant calling and crying over phone, his sister Meethu agreed to come live with him on 8th of June 2020. Due to this development, Sushant requested Rhea to live with her parents for time being. Rhea had been suffering from her own anxiety issues and often endured panic attacks. Sushant’s conduct also aggravated se conditions. Even though Rhea was desirous of seeing her family, she was t at all comfortable with leaving Sushant. very same day,8th June 2020, Rhea had arranged to have a rapy session of her own with Dr. Susan Walker and requested Sushant if she could leave after session. However, Sushant told her to leave immediately before his sister Meethu arrived. Thus Rhea reluctantly left and informed Sushant to let her or her bror kw about anything he required or in case he needed to talk.

Rhea has always maintained that she would like truth of matter to be revealed by virtue of a fair and impartial investigation. She has admitted in her Petition to SC that she sent a Mess to Amit Shah Union HM to order a CBI investigation. She has also informed SC that if Court Transfers it to CBI she had objection. What she has challenged is Illegal Registration and Investigation of Bihar Police without Jurisdiction and transfer to CBI of an illegal investigation. Unless Maharashtra Govt Consents to a CBI investigation , Case cant be transferred to CBI. Instead Bihar Govt ought to have transferred investigation to Mumbai Police as per tification issued by Union Government. very foundation of Federal Structure is at stake by present  actions for Bihar Govt. 

Rhea and her family has so far cooperated with Enforcement Directorate. 

As per law, Bihar Police ought to have registered a 0 FIR and transferred investigation to Mumbai Police. Bihar Police has Jurisdiction to investigate case. Rhea will t submit to an illegal investigation. re were various reasons that made my client apprehensive about nature of investigation that would be conducted by Bihar Police. Bihar Police registered FIR on same day that complaint was received , despite a delay of over 40 days. Bihar Police arrived in Mumbai without ever summoning my client to cooperate with ir investigation. re were several newspaper articles quoting advocate of complainant as having stated that Bihar Police were hesitant to register FIR but did so at behest of political leadership in Bihar. My Client has t shied away from cooperating with any investigating ncy till date, but she is entitled to a fair and impartial investigation by an ncy which has Jurisdiction to investigate Case. manner in which proceedings were instituted and being conducted in Bihar made it appear unlikely that she would receive a fair treatment.

comments made at last hearing before Hon’ble Supreme Court on 11th of August 2020, make it evident that this has become more about politics than truth. Unwanted and irrelevant submissions are being made. number of Politicians taking advant of this case on eve of elections in Bihar .

Rhea does t kw and has never met Aaditya Thackeray till today. Neir has she ever spoken to him telephonically or orwise. Though she has heard of him as a leader of Shiv Sena. 

She kws and has met Di Morea socially as he is her Senior in Film Industry.
