What a SHAME!: Sushant's kin outraged at TV platform given to Rhea to brand him ‘bipolar’

After expressing outrage at a television news channel for giving a platform to accused Rhea Chakraborty, Sushant Singh Rajput's sister Shweta Singh Kirti has slammed the shocking typecasting and vilification campaign entailed in the interview. Taking to Twitter, Shweta hit out at the attempt to typecast her brother as an individual with a “mental problem” and bipolarity. Without mincing her words, Sushant’s sister commented on the outrage that has been generated against the news channel for giving a “platform to the prime accused”.

'What a SHAME!!!'

"You and Sushant in this relationship went to Europe together. What happened there that Sushant's health started deteriorating? You were there with him since April, since when did you come to know that maybe Sushant is suffering from depression or some kind of a mental problem possibly called Bipolar disorder,?" Rhea is asked in the interview that has generated outrage over the platform given to the prime accused.

Shweta, in an earlier tweet, had said it would be an “utter disgrace” to the people of India should the interview air on a national platform. Naming the news channel that has been promoting an interview with Rhea Chakrabarty, Shweta said that it will be a “slap on the face of 130 crore Indians” who are fighting for justice for Sushant Singh Rajput. Shweta also appealed to the Central Government that the prime accused in Sushant’s death case should not be permitted to do “publicity stunts”. 

Meanwhile, in a fresh and significant development, Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik Chakraborty on Thursday reached the DRDO guesthouse in Mumbai where interrogations by the CBI in relation to Sushant Singh Rajput's death case are in progress for the 7th straight day. Showik reached the CBI base at 9:54 am.
