"Rhea Chakraborty has not named anybody in her statement. If the NCB or anybody is making a statement that she has taken names, it¡¯s totally false. There is no thread of evidence that suggests Rhea Chakraborty has named anybody. She has only stated what Sushant Singh Rajput had consumed all his life when she was with him," he said in an interview to CNN News18.

Not only that, he also denied the claim that Rhea was part of a "drug syndicate".

"Being in the household of Sushant Singh Rajput cannot be termed as a syndicate. She has not dealt with anybody in her life and there is no allegation that she dealt with anybody else."

Maneshinde also spoke about the alleged chats between Rhea and Sushant's manager Jaya Saha.

"What Jaya Saha did with Sushant and Rhea was only prescribe or send CBD oil which is an extract of ganja leaves, which is not a narcotic substance. You can see on the bottle of CBD that it does not contain any narcotic substance."
