Filmmaker Hansal Mehta slammed the media for breaking social distancing norms amid the coronavirus pandemic. Mehta posted a news channel video of Rhea being hounded by scores of media personnel, and was caustic in summing it up with two words: "Social distancing."
Actress Karishma Tanna took the same line, too. "Wow. Social distancing at its best," she wrote with sarcasm.
Producer Manish Mundra tweeted: "This is absurd! This should never happen to anyone! This should end now. What are we turning our nation into? This is not how civilized society functions. Let justice be done but then the road to justice shouldn't look like this." (sic)
Rhea is being questioned by NCB on Sunday over a drug angle in the death of her boyfriend, actor Sushant Singh Rajput. A day ago, Rhea's brother Showik Chakraborty and Sushant's house manager Samuel Miranda were arrested by NCB and taken in custody by the bureau till September 9.
