Background of the Case

In June 2020, actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found deceased in his Mumbai residence. Subsequently, Rhea Chakraborty faced intense media scrutiny and legal challenges, including an arrest in September 2020 on drug-related charges linked to the case. She was accused of procuring and supplying drugs to Rajput but was released on bail after 28 days in custody. 

The recent closure of the CBI's investigation, which found no evidence of foul play, has allowed Chakraborty to publicly embrace a new chapter in her life.
