Sushant's family makes heartfelt appeal to public to block Rhea interview typecasting him

Sushant Singh Rajput’s family made a massive appeal to the people of India to not allow the slated telecast of the Rhea Chakraborty interview on a national news channel. Expressing her outrage at the act and manner of a television channel giving a platform to accused number 1 Rhea Chakraborty, Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister made the appeal to her “extended family” alluding to the people of India and fans of her late brother. 

"The Prime Accused should be taken under custodial interrogation immediately!! It’s my request to my extended family to block this interview," Shweta said in a series of tweets. 

After Shweta’s tweets, voices from across India took to the social networking platform to support the family’s heartfelt appeal.

Taking to Twitter on Thursday, Sushant's sister Shweta also demanded a custodial interrogation of Rhea Chakraborty and said that if the interview is allowed then it is a "slap on the face of 130 crore Indians." She has also called it an "utter disgrace" that a television channel is promoting an interview with accused number 1 in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. 

She also urged that Government of India should not allow the prime accused in Sushant’s death case to do “publicity stunts”.

Shweta has also umbraged at the manner of questioning being applied in Rhea Chakraborty's interview, wherein she's given the opportunity to vilify and typecast Sushant Singh Rajput along the depression and bipolar angles that were purported and panned by all who knew him. 

The controversy about Accused Number 1 Rhea Chakrabarty being given a platform on a national news channel comes even before her potential summons and potential appearance before the CBI and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). Three central agencies have now registered cases owing to multiple grievous angles including the narcotics-dealing coming to light and Sushant's housemates making a startling confession to the CBI that blows the lid off the events that took place in the lead-up to SSR's death on June 14.

Responding to Republic's stunning twin newsbreak regarding a drug nexus and purging of Sushant's data from his equipment and devices, the late actor's father KK Singh has urged the investigative agencies to immediately arrest Rhea. In a video appeal, he alleges that Rhea had sedated Sushant and she is the murderer.

Sushant's father KK Singh who was the one who filed the first FIR in the case naming Rhea, said: "Rhea had been poisoning my son for a long time. She is his killer. I urge the investigative agency to arrest Rhea and other accomplices."
