Subhash Chandra, the owner of Zee News, has publicly apologized to Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty following the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) closure report in the Sushant Singh Rajput case, which concluded that his death was a suicide.
Chandra recognized the media’s involvement, including that of Zee News, in depicting Chakraborty as a suspect and called on others to extend their apologies as well.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Chandra wrote: “In the Sushant Rajput murder case, CBI has filed a closure report. I believe it is due to lack of credible evidence. No scope for ambiguity, hence it means no case is made out. In retrospect, I feel that Rhea Chakraborty was made an accused by the media, led by Zee News.”
He further added, “News through its editor & reporters [at that time] led the charge, and others followed Zee News. As a mentor of Zee News, I advise them to be brave and apologise. I do apologise to Rhea, even with no involvement of mine. I am like ‘एक मुख रुद्राक्ष’ – same inside and out. Call a spade a spade.”
