The Congress in West Bengal, actor Rhea Chakraborty's home state, today took out a rally in support of the actor who has been charged in alleged drugs-related case linked to the death of her friend and actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The protest to show support to Ms Chakraborty adds to the political row over the case. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had been instrumental in asking the centre to let the Central Bureau of Investigation take over the case from the Mumbai Police, after Mr Rajput's family in Bihar filed a First Information Report in Patna against Ms Chakraborty.
