Dia Mirza demands apology for Rhea after CBI closure report in Sushant Rajput case

Bollywood actress Dia Mirza has called out the media and demanded a public apology for Rhea Chakraborty, who was subjected to intense scrutiny and a media trial following Sushant Singh Rajput’s death in 2020.

Dia wrote on her Instagram story, “Who in the media will have the grace to put out a written apology to Rhea Chakraborty and her family? You went on a witch hunt. You caused deep anguish and harassment just for TRPs. Apologise. That’s the very least you can do.”

Her remarks come just days after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officially closed its probe into the allegations surrounding Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. On March 22, the CBI filed two closure reports, giving Rhea and her family a clean chit. The first report dismissed allegations made by Sushant’s father against Rhea, while the second rejected claims made by Rhea against the late actor’s family.

After nearly four years of investigation, the CBI found no evidence suggesting that anyone drove the actor to suicide. A forensic team from AIIMS had also concluded that Sushant’s death was due to suicide and not murder.

Rhea had faced severe public backlash and was arrested in September 2020 in connection with drug-related charges linked to the case. She spent 28 days in Mumbai’s Byculla Jail before being granted bail.

Sushant was found dead in his Mumbai apartment in June 2020.
