Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide on June 14 at his Bandra residence, Rhea Chakraborty has been a subject to online abuse and threats.
She had even requested the Union Home Minister Amit Shah to order a CBI inquiry to understand what prompted Sushant to take such a drastic step.
Following it, Rhea had been receiving death and rape threats, blaming her for Sushant taking such an extreme step.
Rhea Chakraborty had shared a screenshot of the message of the threat that she received from a particular Instagram account holder.
She mentioned in her post, “But how does my silence give you the right to tell me that you will get me RAPED and MURDERED if I don’t commit suicide @mannu_raaut?” Rhea had urged the cyber cell to take immediate action against the user.
And now Abhishek Trimukhe, DCP Zone 9, Mumbai, confirmed saying that ‘an offence has been registered’ after Rhea filed a complaint at the Santacruz Police Station, reports ANI.
