Sandhya had also mentioned that after Rhea had come home, she had looked at her parents and had asked why they look sad and that they have to be strong to fight this. Sandhya had further raised the question of who are they fighting exactly and had said, "But who are we fighting? Someone had to be arrested to satisfy the public, and Rhea paid the price."
Rhea Chakraborty's lawyer, Satish Manshinde had issued a statement on her bail and had hope for the truth to come out soon. He had said, "We are Delighted by the Order of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court granting bail to Rhea Chakraborty. Truth and Justice have prevailed and ultimately the submissions on facts and law have been accepted by Justice Sarang V Kotwal. The arrest and custody of Rhea was totally unwarranted and beyond the reach of the law. The hounding and witch hunt by three central agencies .. the CBI, ED and NCB of Rhea should come to an end. We remain committed to Truth. Satya Meva Jayate." (Don't Miss: Kangana Ranaut Wearing Her Mother's 'Vintage Earrings' For Her Brother's 'Haldi' Proves Old Is Gold)
