Actress Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik are not in a hurry to file a bail application in the high court, revealed their lawyer Satish Maneshinde. Last week, a Mumbai Special Court rejected the bail applications of Rhea, Showik and four others accused in the drugs case filed by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). Following this, several reports suggested that the brother-sister duo was planning to apply in High Court today. Their lawyer has now set the record straight by issuing a statement.
Meanwhile, six more persons were arrested from Mumbai on Sunday by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) probing the drug angle in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput death case, taking the total count of people held so far to 16, an official said. The six accused have been identified as Karamjeet Singh Anand, Dwayne Fernandes, Sanket Patel, Ankush Anreja, Sandeep Gupta and Aftab Fateh Ansari, he said, adding that they were picked up after their names emerged during investigation.
On the other hand, all drug peddlers arrested by NCB Mumbai Zonal Unit team on Sunday will be produced before a magistrate in Mumbai on Monday via video conferencing. They all were booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Raids continue to be conducted across Mumbai and Goa to nab those associated with supply, distribution and consumption of drugs based on Showik and Rhea Chakraborty, Samuel Miranda and Dipesh Sawant’s testimony.
It was also claimed that the NCB has prepared a ‘Bollywood List’ that contains names of 25 A-list stars of the Hindi film industry who have been associated with drugs consumption. However, as per latest development, the anti-drugs federal agency has denied all claims of such a list and said it is being confused with list of peddlers and drug suppliers who are part of the drug syndicate operating in the state of Maharashtra.
