Just recently the Narcotics Control Bureau challenged actor Rhea Chakraborty’s bail that was granted by Bombay High Court in October last year, in the Supreme Court. As per the latest reports in HT, the case will be heard today, on March 18 with a bench headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde and comprising Justices A.S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian. In its plea, the NCB has said that the court 'erred' in granting bail to Chakraborty as it 'ignored' the observations of the agency. Reportedly, she was asked to submit an Rs. 1 lakh bond and told not to leave the country without the court's permission.
In 2020, Rhea Chakraborty was arrested by NCB for her alleged connection to drugs, linked to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. She even spent 28 days in custody after which she was granted bail by the Bombay High court. Apart from this, the NCB has also filed the charge sheet in a Special NDPS Court, and that Rhea, her brother Showik and others had been named. In this regard, Maneshinde said, “The court has found no prima facie material, at the stage of bail, of alleged financing drugs etc.”
Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde had earlier said that the 12000-page charge sheet was expected. Maneshinde also said that this case has no ‘substance’ if Rhea Chakraborty isn’t ‘charged’.
Sushant Singh Rajput
Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide on June 14, 2020, after allegedly hanging himself at his Bandra residence, leaving everyone in utter shock and grief. After the death, three government federal agencies came on board after SSR’s father filed an FIR against Rhea.
