Rhea's chats expose alleged drug-nexus, Kangana doubles down

On August 26, several WhatsApp chats between Rhea and hotelier Gaurav Arya surfaced where the duo was seen discussing the buying and selling of banned narcotics and substances in a big contradiction to her lawyer's statements where he claimed that-- "Rhea has never consumed drugs in her life". 

The 15-page WhatsApp conversations between Rhea and drug peddlers, handed over to the NCB, indicate that Rhea and her associates had purchased significant quantities of drugs and had appeared to panic when their stash was running out.

Another chat had also shown Rhea discussing spiking Sushant Singh Rajput's tea or coffee with a drug to get a certain 'kick'. In her interviews with friendly media where she made to slander Sushant as a drug-addict, she claimed to only be the person 'coordinating' this.

Even as the NCB and the CBI are probing the drugs angle with a scope larger than the Sushant death probe, Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut exposed the shocking Bollywood drug reality while speaking to Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami.
