Rhea Chakraborty’s bail statement has been rejected by the court
Mumbai:
Actor Rhea Chakraborty’s statement has made it clear that she is an “active member of a drug syndicate” and that she is used to acquire drugs for the consumption of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the Office of Narcotics Control said in a court of Mumbai. The Central agency today arrested the 28-year-old actor in connection with drug-related allegations in the case after three rounds of questioning.
The officials did not request his custody, claiming they obtained all the information and evidence they need. The court rejected his declaration of bail and he will spend the night in jail.
The 28-year-old actor, the agency claimed in its pretrial detention request, used to “manage the finances for the procurement of drugs” together with Sushant Singh Rajput. She was aware of “every delivery and payment” and sometimes confirmed the payment and even the choice of drugs, the agency said.
The agency also said that Rhea Chakraborty’s brother Showik Chakraborty, who was arrested on Friday, revealed that he used to facilitate drug delivery through Abdel Basit Parihar by Kaizan Ebrahim and Zaid. The three men were suspected drug traffickers who allegedly had ties to Sushant Singh Rajput and have been arrested.
The agency said the drug deliveries were received by Sushant Singh Rajput’s aides, one of whom was the home manager, Samuel Miranda. The other was his cook Dipesh Sawant. Both men have voluntarily confessed their role in the matter, the agency said.
In an interview for NDTV, Rhea Chakraborty had admitted that Sushant Singh Rajput used to smoke marijuana, but denied using or helping to obtain drugs.
“I tried to control it … I have never talked to a (drug) dealer or used drugs in my life. I am open to a blood test,” she told NDTV.
Rhea Chakraborty, accused by Sushant Singh’s family of mentally harassing him, exploiting him for money and playing a role in his death, has been the focus of investigation by three central agencies.
In addition to the OCN, it is also being investigated by the Central Investigation Office and the economic aspect is being examined by the Directorate of Execution.
Since the death of Sushant Singh Rajput in June, she has also been repeatedly attacked and vilified on social media, a situation she has termed a “witch hunt”.
Today her lawyer Satish Manshinde said her arrest was a “parody of justice” and that three central agencies were “harassing a single woman just because she was in love with a drug addict suffering from mental health problems.”
As officials took her away after her arrest today, Rhea Chakraborty greeted the media, signaling her intention to fight back.
