Rhea's neighbour fails to prove claims of Sushant's secret meeting with the actress on June 13

Actor Rhea Chakraborty’s neighbour had claimed few days back that an eyewitness had seen late Sushant Singh Rajput drop off Rhea at latter’s apartment complex in Mumbai. Now, post an interrogation with Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), she has been warned by the central agency from lying. A TV report had quoted the neighbour who said that she had been told by an eyewitness that Sushant had dropped Rhea at her flat on June 13, day before his death. Quoting the neighbour, the report had said: “The person told me this in June itself before any of this had gone to CBI or even before Rhea had said anything. The person had said, ‘Oh! he passed away, I had just seen him drop her off on 13th evening.’ Nothing was known at that time that what else will come up. I have not seen anything and yes, I am Rhea’s neighbour.”

As per a new report in India Today, the CBI has now warned the neighbour, named Dimple Thawani, from lying. In her interrogation on Sunday while Dimple stuck to her claim that not she, but someone else had seen Sushant drop Rhea, she refused to reveal who this person was. She also refused to speak about the time and place where the incident happened. Meanwhile, Rhea’s lawyer, Satish Maneshinde has already termed the June 13 meeting as a baseless rumour spread by a fan who is allegedly a part of the media circus. In a separate statement, he has also requested the honest journalists to go and record the statements of the woman who was questioned by CBI.  Sushant died in his Mumbai flat on June 14. Rhea was arrested by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in September for procuring banned drugs for him. After nearly a month in Byculla jail, she was released on bail on October 7.
