Anurag Kashyap has addressed Rhea Chakraborty’s arrest in Sushant Singh Rajput case in a new set of tweets, as he also opens up on his relationship with the late actor. The filmmaker broke his silence regarding Bollywood’s silence on Sushant Singh Rajput’s case investigation. The filmmaker said that the celebrities have been quiet until now because of the respect they have for him. Also, he stated that he did not work with Sushant due to his own reasons.
After Narcotics Control Bureau arrested Rhea Chakraborty, several Bollywood personalities demanded justice for the actress by posting a quote on smashing the “patriarchy” and a hashtag #JusticeForRhea. Celebrities like Vidya Balan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Shibani Dandekar, Anurag Kashyap and others took to social media to share a quote that was written on the T-shirt that Rhea had worn on Tuesday, which happened to be her third day of interrogation with the bureau.

1/2. It wasn’t sudden but a long planned conspiracy & Rhea was selected for execution as Rhea’s drug dealings r in evidences since 2017 that’s much before she targeted SSR. He was administered synthetic narcotics in tea without his knowledge in the pretext of Medicine at times.

2/2.SSR didn’t take drugs on his own & wasn’t part of drugs chatgroup. Rhea fed him drugs without his knowledge & isn’t arrested for getting marijuana only but also for dealing in synthetic narcotics.SSR wasn’t taking drugs & haven’t known about it. Unfortunately he trusted Rhea.

Really? Mr Kashyap you knew SSR and industry interacted with him, yet isolated him, showed racial behaviour towards him? Made him feel lonely? No one was there for him nor raised voice for him after his death.if he didn’t accept the culture kill him, disown him? 25 names NCB pic.twitter.com/ZbiFRktv79
