Actress Rhea Chakraborty was taken to the Byculla jail by officials from the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Wednesday morning.
She was arrested by the agency on Tuesday in connection with the investigation of a drugs angle in the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The arrest was made under the Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Act. Her declaration of bail was rejected by the court the same day.
‘No father can bear injustice to his daughter. I should die, ” his father expressed on Twitter his disappointment after the rejection of his plea.
Chakraborty’s arrest of Rhea came 3 days after the arrest of his brother Showik and the manager of the Rajput home, Samuel Miranda.
The actress was summoned to the NCB office for questioning for three consecutive days prior to her arrest. “Rhea is an active member of a drug syndicate and is used to manage the finances for the purchase of drugs together with the deceased actor,” the OCN had said in its return request.
The agency said it had not found any contraband at the residence of Rhea and her brother Showik in Juhu, but that there was sufficient evidence to present in court.
“We have enough material to arrest her, but I will not comment on the evidence in this case. We will present it to the court, ”the agency added.
