Based on these points, this is what Showik Chakraborty’s attorney, Satish Manshine, argued in favor of bail, before Metropolitan Magistrate Joshi.
SC’s sister, Rhea Chakraborty, met SSR at YRF in 2013. Thereafter, they became close friends some time after April 13, 2019. She lived with him until June 8, 2020. SSR asked her to She left the house with her bag and luggage, as she disagreed on the SSR mental health conditions treatment line, as she insisted on taking the illegal and unjustified prescription sent by her sister Priyanka. The doctor who had prescribed the drugs had never consulted SSR and there was no online consultation or telemedicine possible. It is not in compliance with the Pandemic Rules. WhatsApp messages between SSR and Priyanka are clear about it. RC insisted on following the treatment of 5 doctors in Mumbai whom SSR had met and consulted. She had left the line of treatment and was not taking the prescribed medications. On the contrary, she used psychotropic drugs regularly. Doctors had advised her to stop using drugs and take prescribed medications instead. Thereafter, except for a WhatsApp message on each of SSR’s SC and RC phones, there was no further contact. RC had locked SSR on his phone. He learned on June 14, 2020 of his death.
In fact, 5 doctors who were consulted by SSR have made statements to the police that SSR was under treatment and had problems with drugs. These statements are in the public domain. Five housemates and aides have made statements to the Mumbai police that SSR used drugs and that it was long before RC came into their life. All of them were already living with SSR and were hired long before April 13, 2019.
Both SC and RC have never used Narcotics / Psychotropics. They are both ready and willing to take a blood and drug test.
In fact, SSR was using drugs long before RC came into his life. RC knows he was using drugs even on the Kedarnath sets when he was shot in 2016-2017. It is not an addiction that you acquired after RC came into your life. He used drugs even against medical advice. This is a person who consumed it against medical advice and RC requests. He enjoyed it in his life and died. Instead, SC and Samuel Miranda are being prosecuted after their death, which is not justified.
No possession or anything has been found except electronic messages that have yet to be proven in a trial. Ganja acquisition charges are punishable under section 20 (b) (ii) (A) are surety, so also 28 and 29 of the NDPS Act. Section 27A is not attracted.
Mental health is a serious problem. SSR suffered from the age of 20 according to the doctors. It is not a minor incident as the attorneys at SSR Family suggest. Her sister gave her medicine illegally. Her mother also suffered from various mental health problems that contributed to her untimely death. The arguments of the SSR family and lawyers that after SSR met RC, her mental health deteriorated is completely false. Mental health, unlike Corona / Covid, cannot be affected by one person coming into contact with the other. It is mainly a genetic problem that suffered from SSR for several years and there is evidence that he was being treated for it since 2013 and that his family knew it very well. The NDPS indictment has been imposed after ED and CBI have so far found no incriminating material of complicity or diversion of money, much less 15 rupees for RC and the family. The accusations are false and do not substantiate any case. Mumbai Police and the DE have conducted forensic audits on the financial affairs of SSR and RC and have found no discrepancies in the SSR or RC accounts. The involvement of multiple agencies and parallel investigations is a complete witch hunt. There is no single rupee flow from the SSR account to RC.
The return of NDPS is no reason to grant the return of NCB. It is a case of crimes subject to bail. Preventing 27A without evidence or material is not enough to award custody. This is a suitable case for bail.
