A new possible drug angle has emerged in Sushant Singh Rajput’s case when Rhea Chakraborty’s WhatsApp chats were shared by Enforcement Directorate to the CBI and Narcotics Control Bureau.
Chakraborty as per the messages talks about consuming MDMA once and discusses marijuana. A message by Jaya Saha to Rhea on November 2019 says, “Use 4 drops in coffee, tea or water and let him sip it. Give it 30-40 minutes for it to kick in.”
Talking to Times Now, Vikas Singh (Sushant Singh Rajput’s family lawyer) reacted saying it was ‘highly illegal’ for such drugs to be consumed by the late actor without his knowledge. “In our FIR, we have mentioned that he used to be over-drugged. We were under the impression that this was some drug administered by a doctor, a psychiatrist, but this revelation is absolutely explosive. Probably, he was being literally drugged, meaning he was given these hardcore drugs which are given to someone to sort of control his mind,” he said.
“It is quite obvious that what was done to Sushant was definitely highly illegal and highly criminal. These drugs were being used to either control him, calm him down or make him docile. That is what the servants also say, that he used to be sleeping on the ground floor. He had a duplex, sixth floor and seventh floor. He used to be sleeping on one floor and there were parties going on on the other floor.
“Rhea used to be having a party and Sushant used to be sleeping on the other floor. So, there was definitely an element of actual drugging. Not drugging in the sense that we had said in the FIR, but actual drugging. It means that he was administered something contrary to his will, without his knowledge, and the purpose of that drugging was to subdue him, make him docile or to affect his mind very badly. That is ultimately what led to his death,” Singh added.
Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde says, “Rhea has never consumed drugs in her life ever. She is ready for a blood test” and has denied any allegations although PTI reports that the Enforcement Directorate came across Rhea’s connection to banned drugs.
Shweta Singh Kirti, Sushant’s sister, reacted to the Times Now tweet as well saying ‘this is a criminal offence’.
SSR’s brother-in-law Vishal Kirti also tweeted on the matter saying, “Now that we know from TimesNow’s disclosure that Rhea and her coconspirators were surreptitiously administering drugs to SSR in coffee, looks like my hypotheticals in this post (based on the FIR) were not off the mark. Read the section where I question Rhea’s role.”
Vishal Kirti had speculated in a blog post before that Sushant must have been unknowingly exposed to psychotropic drugs. He wrote, “I am not using any special information and I am quoting everything available in the public domain. The FIR claims that Sushant was perhaps given psychotropic drugs by Rhea (maybe even without his knowledge). Covert/Surreptitious medication is also perhaps illegal in the 21st century.”
“There could be many explanations of this sudden onset of mental health issues in October/November of 2019. This could be a result of covert medication and withdrawal of psychotropic drugs (perhaps the covert medication stopped during their Europe trip in October 2019, perhaps because of eating out mostly so no opportunity to covertly medicate him with food? Or perhaps intentionally not medicating? Which led to withdrawal symptoms). And then, he was perhaps taken to the psychotherapist under the pretext of care,” he continued.
