Will Rhea get bail? Hearing today in Bombay HC

September 29, 2020 10:32

The bail requests of actor Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik, who have been in jail for nearly three weeks on drugs-related charges linked to the Sushant Singh Rajput investigation, will be heard by the Bombay High Court today.

Five more accused, including Sushant Singh Rajput's employees, are also seeking bail.

Rhea Chakraborty, who dated movie star Sushant Singh Rajput, was arrested on September 9 on charges of organising drugs for him.

On Monday, the Narcotics Control Bureau submitted a statement opposing bail for Rhea Chakraborty and her brother, saying they bought drugs not for their own use but to supply them to Sushant Singh Rajput, which is a more serious offense related to the funding of drugs.

Under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, this is the most serious crime, Narcotics Control Bureau officer Sameer Wankhede has said in his written submission.

Rhea Chakraborty also used her home to buy and store drugs for Sushant Singh Rajput, says the officer, saying she was therefore guilty of harbouring drugs.
