After being questioned for nine hours by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of CBI at the DRDO guest house on Monday, Rhea Chakraborty was followed by TV media crews till her residence in Santacruz. The actress, accused in Sushant Singh Rajput's alleged suicide, found media crews waiting near the lift at her building.
Rhea, who was being escorted by a team from Mumbai police, left from the guesthouse at 8 pm. While her car was being chased by crews from a certain media house, several others were waiting outside her residence.
The car then turned and went to Santacruz police station where the actress submitted a written complaint of continuous harassment at her residence and whenever she steps out to present herself for questioning. This is the second time Rhea approached the police over harassment by the media.
