Sushant Singh Rajput died on June 14. Ever since there have been rapid developments in the case. Rhea Chakraborty is the prime accused in the case and is being investigated. Because of news reporters relentlessly following her, the actress sought protection from the local police.

On Friday, Rhea Chakraborty while leaving the DRDO guest house post the interrogation by CBI was hounded by a few reporters who according to video footage even made it difficult for her to enter her car. A Mumbai Police officer had to guide the actress into her car while stopping the press from getting too close.

Videos of the same have been doing the rounds on the internet. Appalled by the treatment of the press, actress and director Konkona Sen Sharma took to her Twitter handle and expressed shock and compared it to what happened to Princess Diana. “I am appalled at how irresponsibly media is ‘covering’ Rhea Chakravarty. Do they not remember Princess Diana? Are we never going to learn? Especially at a time when there is no dearth of serious issues to focus on,” Konkona wrote.
