The Mumbai Police today warned the media against "chasing celebrities and others" and "endangering lives" minutes after actor Rhea Chakraborty was granted bail by the Bombay High Court. The 28-year-old actor is set to walk out of jail nearly a month after she was arrested in a drugs case linked to the investigations into actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death.

"You cannot chase the vehicle of any celebrity, advocate or any person you wish to interview. You cannot endanger your life, the life of that person or normal people walking on the roads. It's an offence. We will take stern action, not only against the driver but against the person instigating, instructing the person to do such a chase," Sangram Singh Nishandar, Mumbai Police Deputy Commissioner, told reporters.

Last month, Rhea Chakraborty was mobbed by a horde of mediapersons in Mumbai before and after she was questioned for over six hours by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the drugs case, three days before she was jailed (on September 9).
