After the clean chit, Rhea's lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, reiterated that his client had no involvement in the actor's death.
He said, ‘Since day one I have been saying that there is no involvement of Rhea in Sushant Singh Rajput's death’ Still, on 27th July 2020, someone filed a complaint against her and that is why the investigation started. After that, we approached the Supreme Court."
