Rhea Chakraborty’s arrest on Tuesday evening saw, yet again, a huge debate on social media about the veracity of her arrest, the way the media has covered Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, and how a young woman was arrested allegedly over a small quantity of marijuana. While the facts of the case remained unclear — “sources” have been alleging Chakraborty of everything from using to procuring drugs, without evidence — her lawyer Satish Maneshinde called it a “travesty of justice”. Many Bollywood celebrities—including some who are silent about other issues—took to Twitter too, to show support for Chakraborty. Many women took to Twitter to express their anger over Chakraborty’s arrest, which came after weeks of vilification, and to point out how Indians were still quick to blame a woman. Many others also called it a witch-hunt.
