Mumbai: Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s alleged girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty has given a written complaint against two unknown Instagram account holders for sending her obscene messages.
Acting on her complaint, the Mumbai police registered a first information report (FIR) for threatening the Jalebi actress.
Taking to her Instagram handle, Rhea shared a screenshot of the message that she received on Instagram. According to her, the user threatened to get her raped and killed. Rhea was being blamed for actor Sushant Singh Rajpur’s death and many social media users accused her of using Sushant.
The message from a user named Mannu_raaut read: “I make sure u will be raped n murdered! U bi*ch commit suicide otherwise I will send people to kill u sooner or later!
Reacting to the post, Rhea wrote, “I was called a gold digger ..I kept quiet. I was called a murderer ….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 @mannu_raaut?
“Do you realize the seriousness of what you have said? These are crimes, and by law no one, I repeat NO ONE should be subjected to this kind of toxicity and harassment. I request @cyber_crime_helpline @cybercrimeindia to please take necessary action. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” she commented through her Instagram post.
