Mumbai: Rhea Chakraborty used to conduct yoga classes for inmates at Byculla jail to stay positive during her incarceration, her lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, has said.
Rhea was released on bail on Wednesday, after 28 days at the prison here on drug-related charges in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.
In an interview to NDTV following her release, the lawyer called Rhea a “Bengal tigress” and said she would “fight back” to restore her tarnished image.
Maneshinde said he went to the jail to see the condition that she was in. “I was fortunate to see that she was in good spirits. She used to conduct yoga classes for herself and her jail inmates. She adjusted herself in jail because she could not get home food because of the pandemic, and she lived with the inmates as if she was a commoner. Being an army girl, she fought the conditions like a battle, and she is ready to face any person who is trying to accuse her and harm her interests.”
The lawyer also claimed that Rhea was “hounded” by the central investigating agencies and Sushant’s family was being vindictive towards her. “I don’t know for what reason, the family seems to be very vindictive as far as Rhea Chakraborty is concerned. I’ve been saying that the central agencies —CBI, NCB, and ED — have been hounding her only because she was the housewife or the live-in partner of this gentleman.”
He also accused the media of peddling “fake news” about Rhea. “Media channels, particularly those which were hounding her, were doing it only for the TRPs. They were formatting all this fake news and bogus stories,” he said.
