Rhea's brother gets bail in drugs case

December 02, 2020 15:21

Special NDPS Court grants bail to Showik Chakraborty (Rhea Chakraborty's brother) in a drugs case registered by Narcotics Control Bureau. A special Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances court last month had directed the Taloja jail authorities to allow Showik the use of a sweater in prison. Lodged in Taloja jail since September, his bail pleas have been rejected by both the special court and the Bombay High Court.

Rhea Chakraborty was granted bail by the Bombay High Court on 7 October.

Justice Sarang Kotwal had held that Showik "was not only knowing many drug dealers, but, he was in touch with them and was actually transacting with them. Thus, he is part of chain of drug dealers. At this stage, the investigating agency has sufficient material to show that he is a part of a chain of drug dealers engaged in illicit traffic of drugs."
