Supporting The Arrest KamyaPanja­bi

I saw people celebratin­g on social media that ‘she’s been arrested for drug abuse, not murder’, but drug abuse is illegal, too! If they don’t arrest her, what message will they give to the youth? Also, Rhea kya doodh peeti bacchi hai ki drugs laane ke liye force kar diya? The said person is not here to defend himself, you can say just anything. Now you will say ki muh mein drugs daal diya tha.

There isn’t any other way of looking at it. This case has become like a can of worms, which started off with how did Sushant die. The drug aspect can’t be ignored, the underworld dealings and stuff. We gave local authoritie­s almost two months to figure out, we should give CBI, NCB and ED at least a few months. I am happy with the way the case is going. It won’t be comfortabl­e for a lot of people perhaps, but it is what it is.

As per NCB’s investigat­ion, Rhea was procuring drugs and was in touch with peddlers, so the arrest is justified. But whether she is connected to a cartel is yet to be proven.

The drug angle can be a parallel investigat­ion... We should focus on the primary investigat­ion of the reason behind Sushant’s death. The general sentiment was that Rhea should be arrested, but I feel the media trial was not correct. We should shut up now and let the agencies do their job.

Rhea’s being targeted in a media trial fuelled by a social media lynch mob, led by people with their own agendas. She’s being made a scapegoat for voyeuristi­c pleasure. I’ve always maintained that the law of the land must be allowed to function in a rational and impartial manner. And as far as I know, Rhea is cooperatin­g with all the investigat­ions.

It’s unbelievab­le what’s happening with Rhea and her family. There’s not an iota of empathy. We have a judiciary for a reason. If she’s proven guilty, punish her, but this isn’t the way. This witch hunt must stop. It seems people have already made up their mind that she’s guilty. Let law take its course.

I stand in solidarity with Rhea. I am as pained as I’d be about my own child. It’s disturbing to see such harassment and misogyny that has failed us, as a society. All the top agencies of the country have been working on the case but still nothing has been proven. It’s also painful to hear someone casually saying that the entire industry does drugs.
