On 27 August 2020, [[BBC News]] reported that in the wake of Rajput's death, Chakraborty had "found herself at the centre of a vicious hate campaign led by some of India's most high-profile journalists and social media trolls." Subjected to gossip, innuendo, and misogynistic abuse, she was described by conservative television hosts as a "manipulative" woman who "performed black magic" and "drove Sushant to suicide." After a purported fan of Rajput threatened her on Instagram with rape and murder and urged her to "commit suicide otherwise I will send people to kill you," Chakraborty sought help from the [[cybercrime]] police.

Rhea Chakraborty (born 1 July 1992) is an Indian actress and VJ.[1][2] She started her career as a VJ on MTV India.[3] She made her acting debut with the 2012 Telugu film Tuneega Tuneega and later appeared in the Hindi film Mere Dad Ki Maruti (2013).
Early life
Rhea Chakraborty was born into a Bengali family[4] in Bangalore, Karnataka, India on 1 July 1992.[5] Her father was an Indian Army officer.[6] She did her schooling from Army Public School Ambala Cantt, Ambala.[7]
Career
Rhea started her television career in 2009 with MTV India's TVS Scooty Teen Diva where she was the first runner-up. Later on, she auditioned to be a VJ at MTV Delhi and was selected. She has hosted several MTV shows, including Pepsi MTV Wassup, TicTac College Beat and MTV Gone in 60 Seconds.
In 2012, she made her film debut with the Telugu film Tuneega Tuneega where she played the character Nidhi. In 2013 she debuted in Bollywood with Mere Dad Ki Maruti as Jasleen.[4] In 2014 she played the character of Sonali in Sonali Cable.[8]
In 2017 she appeared in YRF's Bank Chor.[9] She also did cameo appearances in Half Girlfriend and Dobaara: See Your Evil.[10] In 2018 she appeared in Jalebi opposite debutante Varun Mitra.[11]
Personal life
Chakraborty met the Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput at a party in April 2019, and the couple started dating soon after.[12] She founded an artificial intelligence company called Vividrage Rhealityx in partnership with her brother Showik Shakraborty and Rajput in September 2019.[13][14] The couple moved in together in December 2019.[12] Rhea was living with Rajput till 8th of june, when she left his bandra appartment.[15] In the morning of 14 June 2020, her boyfriend Shushant was found dead at his residence in Bandra, Mumbai. The cause of death is still being investigated by CBI with Rhea being the prime suspect in the case.[16][17]
Death of Sushant Singh Rajput
On 25 July, Rajput's family lodged a first information report (FIR) with Patna Police, where his father lives, alleging Rhea, Indrajit Chakraborty, Sandhya Chakraborty, Shruti Modi, Showik Chakraborty and others of abetment of suicide, wrongful restraint, wrongful confinement, theft, criminal breach of trust, and cheating under the sections 341, 342, 380, 406, 420, 306 and 120(B) of the IPC.[18] Rajput's father, K.K. Singh, said in the FIR that Sushant had confided to his sister about Chakraborty threatening to make his medical receipts public and prove him mad; that Rajput was afraid Chakraborty would frame him for his secretary's suicide; and that before his day of suicide, Chakraborty took away all doctor's receipts.[19] On 6 August, the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Indian national government's top investigating agency, re-registered the Patna Police FIR accusing Chakraborty and others of wrongdoing, thus taking over the case.[20] On 7 August, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned Rhea and her brother, Showik Chakraborty, over allegations of money laundering.[21] On 19 August, the Supreme Court of India allowed the CBI to take control of the investigation.[22] On 26 August, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), India's national drug law enforcement agency, registered an FIR against Rhea, her brother Showik, and three others. The ED had requested the NCB to join the investigation after its financial probe found that drugs were supplied to Rhea and Sushant. Specifically, the FIR invoked sections of India's Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act dealing with cannabis. Chakraborty's lawyer said, "Rhea has never consumed drugs in her lifetime ever. She's ready for a blood test any time."[23]
Media coverage
On 27 August 2020, BBC News reported that in the wake of Rajput's death, Chakraborty had "found herself at the centre of a vicious hate campaign led by some of India's most high-profile journalists and social media trolls." Subjected to gossip, innuendo, and misogynistic abuse, she was described by conservative television hosts as a "manipulative" woman who "performed black magic" and "drove Sushant to suicide." After a purported fan of Rajput threatened her on Instagram with rape and murder and urged her to "commit suicide otherwise I will send people to kill you," Chakraborty sought help from the cybercrime police. Supreme Court senior counsel Meenakshi Arora told the BBC that much of the press had already declared the actress guilty. "She's been hanged, drawn and quartered. It's a complete trial by media."[24] Three activists, arguing that trial by media poses "real and substantial risk of prejudice to the proper administration of justice," petitioned the Bombay High Court to restrict reportage that could hamper the investigation of this case due to sensationalisation. News channels named as having conducted such media trials included Times Now, Republic TV, Zee News, NDTV, News 18, and India Today.[25] On 28 August, the Press Council of India (PCI), the autonomous press watchdog established by parliament, said coverage of the Sushant Singh Rajput case by many media outlets "is in violation of the norms of journalistic conduct." The PCI advised media to not carry out a "parallel trial" by narrating the story to induce public belief in the guilt of one whom the PCI called "the person indicted."[26]
