A Mumbai Sessions Court has rejected the bail plea of Rhea Chakraborty in the Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case. The decision comes after a magistrate court in Mumbai had earlier rejected her bail application on the grounds that she's liable to influence other key witnesses in the case and/or tamper with crucial evidence, following which the actress was placed in a 14-day judicial custody under the supervision of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). However, the sessions court has rejected her plea without giving any reason.
Along with Rhea Chakraborty, the bail application of the five other individuals arrested under drug-related charges by the NCB, including Rhea's brother, Showik Chakraborty, Abdul Basit, Zaid Vilatra, Dipesh Sawant and Samuel Miranda, have also been rejected, and the lawyers have all the six accused have been clearly apprised that they'll need to approach the Bombay High Court for all bail hearings moving forward. Rhea is presently incarcerated at Byculla jail women's facility, and will remain in custody till 22nd September. In her plea seeking bail, the actress' lawyer had stated, "She has not committed any crime whatsoever and has been falsely implicated in the case."
Earlier, the NCB had opposed Showik Chakraborty's bail application in Sushant Singh Rajput's case on the grounds that Rhea had mentioned his name in her statement, indicating that he "is an active member of a drug syndicate connected with drug supplies".
"Accused Rhea Chakraborty has acknowledged their statements and her role explained. During statement present accused Rhea Chakraborty revealed about her involvement in procurement of drug and financial transaction and also her instructions to Samuel Miranda, Dipesh Sawant and applicant Showik Chakraborty in this regard. Therefore it is clear from statement that applicant is an active member of a drug syndicate connected with drug supplies. Showik was making payment for the drugs, which Samuel Mirinda and Dipesh Sawant took the delivery for and handed over those drugs to Rajput. Therefore, it is clear that the drugs, which were financed, were not meant for personal consumption but for supplying the same to other persons. Therefore, 27 A of NDPS Act 1985 is clearly applicable and applicant cannot escape the clutches of the law," read the NCB's reply in the Special Sessions Court at Mumbai.
