*Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case: Bombay High Court grants bail to Rhea Chakraborty*
OCT 7:Big relief for Rhea Chakraborty came on Wednesday when the Bombay High Court granted bail to her. She was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with a drugs probe related to actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case last month. A special NDPS court had earlier rejected the bail pleas of the actress and her brother Showik Chakraborty.
They then moved the Bombay High Court to seek bail who reserved its order on their pleas. Not just Rhea, Dipesh Sawant, and Samuel Miranda have also been granted bail while Showik and Abdul Basit’s bail plea has been rejected.
Just yesterday, a special (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) court in Mumbai extended the judicial custody of Rhea Chakraborty and others in the case till October 20. As many as 14 persons arrested in the case were produced before the special court here through video conferencing for the grant of judicial custody.
The NCB began its investigation after the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which was probing money laundering charges linked to the case, shared some social media chats retrieved from Rhea Chakraborty’s mobile phone, hinting at the alleged use of banned drugs.
Rajput (34) was found hanging at his residence in suburban Bandra on June 14.
