Actor Rhea Chakraborty was brought to Byculla jail by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officials on Wednesday morning. She was arrested by the agency on Tuesday in connection with the investigation of a drug angle in actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death. Rhea's Chakraborty's arrest came 3 days after the arrest of her brother Showik and Rajput's house manager Samuel Miranda were arrested by the NCB.
She was sent to judicial custody for 14 days and asked to go to a sessions court for bail. She is likely to do so today. Rhea Chakraborty, who dated Sushant Singh Rajput in his final months, has been charged with organizing drugs for the Bollywood star after three days of questioning. She "is an active member of the drug syndicate connected with drug supplies," the Narcotics Control Bureau said in its court documents. She faces charges that could lead to jail for up to 10 years but the Narcotics Control Bureau makes no official mention of her using drugs.
Rhea Chakraborty's father Indrajit Chakraborty took to Twitter to share his disappointment and anger on the arrest of his daughter and the rejection of her bail plea in the Sushant Singh Rajput case. In a reaction to a follower's tweet, he said, "No father can bear injustice on his daughter. I should die." He said that the entire country is hell bent to send Rhea behind bars without any proof.
Documents submitted in court say Rhea Chakraborty "procured drugs for Sushant Singh Rajput and used to manage finance for drug procurement with him".
