Rhea’s Bail Petition in Sessions Court
According to the NCB, Rhea, who is charged under sections 8 (c), 20 (b) (ii), 22, 27A, 28 and 29 of the 1985 NDPS Act, was confronted with Showik co-defendant Samuel Miranda and Dipesh Sawant. It allegedly disclosed its involvement in the acquisition of drugs and financial transactions.
However, in the bond statement filed in the Sessions Court, it was argued that Rhea is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. Her attorneys maintained that the crime was subject to bail and argued that no drugs or psychotropic substances were seized. Claiming that Section 27A of the NDPS Act was applied without evidence, they disputed the charge that Rhea had financed the illicit trafficking of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances. Furthermore, the defenders asserted that there is no allegation that their client purchased or financed any medicine outside the period during which she was in a relationship with Sushant Singh Rajput.
The petition alleges that she was interrogated on September 6, 7 and 8 in the absence of a female police officer, which was observed to violate a directive of the Supreme Court. By revealing that the defendant understands a serious risk to her life in prison, Rhea’s attorneys have assured the court that she was willing to cooperate with the investigating agency.
