Mumbai: After facing a lot of backlash from Sushant Singh Rajput's fans, VJ Shibani Dandekar and sister Anusha Dandekar have deleted social media posts calling for the release of actor Rhea Chakraborty.
Recently, Shibani had put out a post calling for the release of Rhea. "#ReleaseRhea #justiceforrhea," she wrote.
Shibani is a close friend of Rhea. She had earlier called out media personnel for misbehaving with her. "I have known Rhea Chakraborty since she was 16 years old. Vibrant, strong, vivacious… such a bright spark.. so full of life! I have witnessed such a stark contrast to this side of her personality over the last few months as her and her family (some of the warmest best people you will ever meet) have experienced the most unimaginable trauma. We have watched the media behave like complete vultures on a witch-hunt, vilifying and torturing an innocent family to breaking point," she wrote.

“What was her crime? She loved a boy, looked after him through his darkest days, put her life on hold to be there for him and when he...took his own life she was crucified,” Shibani has continued.
“I’m sorry that so many people let you down, doubted you, weren’t there for you when you needed them the most. I’m sorry that the best thing you did in your life (looking after Sushant) led you to the worst experience of your life...I’m so sorry.. I’m with you always. #JusticeforRhea," she added.
Besides Shibani and Anusha, numerous other stars like Saqib Saleem, Monica Dogra had also shared the image of Rhea with the hashtag #ReleaseRhea. While the Dandekar sisters have deleted it now, that of Saqib and Monica are still active.
Rhea was arrested last week by Narcotics Control Bureau over charges of procuring drugs for Sushant Singh Rajput. The actor died on June 14 in Mumbai.
The case is being investigated by three separate agencies - Central Bureau of Investigation, Enforcement Directorate and NCB.
