“Travesty of justice. Three central agencies hounding a single woman just because she was in love with a drug addict who was suffering from mental health issues for several years and died by suicide due to consumption of illegally administered medicines, drugs,” the advocate told ANI. 

Rhea Chakraborty is the prime accused in the CBI investigation of Sushant Singh Rajput's demise. Rhea was grilled by the NCB for six hours on Sunday and about eight hours on Monday. On the third day of questioning Rhea was taken into custody.
