Raveena Tandon posts strongly on Rhea's arrest, seeks action 'with vengeance' on drugs
Raveena Tandon posted a strong tweet on Rhea Chakraborty's arrest. She sought action 'with vengeance' on the drugs menace, and urged authorities to 'wake up.'
After days of speculation, Rhea Chakraborty was arrested for her involvement in the narcotics case. The arrest came amid Kangana Ranaut’s disclosures about the alleged Bollywood-drug mafia nexus, claiming '99 per cent' of the film industry consumed drugs. Raveena Tandon had a strong reaction to the developments, and sought that the authorities weed out the drug menace with a ‘vengeance’ as the Sushant Singh Rajput case brought the spotlight on it.

She also wrote that it was time for the authorities to target it with a ‘vengeance’ and eradicate it from colleges, parties, politics, hotels. Raveena lamented how it took the authorities the SSR death case to ‘wake up.’
