Sushant Singh Rajput, a famous Bollywood star was found dead in his Bandra apartment on June 14. Reportedly, the actor died by hanging himself in his flat.

Rhea Chakraborty has been receiving hate messages since then and in her earlier post she had shared a screenshot of death threats she has been receiving.

“I was called a gold-digger, I kept quiet. I was slut shamed, I kept quiet. But, how does my silence give you the right to tell me that you will get me raped and murdered if I don’t commit suicide”, she posted on her Instagram replying to the hater.

She had tagged the cyber cell and requested them to take necessary action. She had recorded her statement with the Mumbai Police on June 18.

After Sushant’s death, Maharashtra Home Minister Ali Deshmukh said that Mumbai Police would probe into the death of late Sushant Singh Rajput in the angle of professional rivalry.

Rhea Chakraborty was only known to be a close friend of Sushant Singh Rajput and there are several photos of the couple together. She however, confirms that she was his girlfriend on her post on Instagram today.
