India’s top lawyer Satish Maneshinde, who has previously defended Sanjay Dutt in 1993 Mumbai Blast case, is now representing Rhea Chakraborty after Sushant Singh Rajput’s father KK Singh filed an FIR against the actress and 5 others. Recently, reports of lawyer Maneshinde offering his services for free to the actress started doing the rounds on social media. Same reports also stated it was Maneshinde himself who had approached the actress to fight for her. But to everyone’s surprise, the top lawyer Satish Maneshinde has denied the rumours.
Satish Maneshinde denied the speculations of him offering his services for free to Rhea and also rubbished the rumours of him being the one who approached the actress to represent her. Times Now quoted Maneshinde saying, “What Rhea said in her interview (to the media) was only that I didn't raise bills in her case and whatever people are saying that I approached her for this case and offered my services for free is not true. Fees is a matter between me and my client.”
Maneshinde also commented on the drug-angle that Rhea is accused of dealing with peddlers. Rhea is also accused of administering a substance to her boyfriend Sushant. Reacting to the same, Maneshinde said, "Rhea has never consumed drugs in her life, and she is ready to undergo a blood test. She is being hounded and a witch-hunt is being carried out.”
