The

her
being
charged
under
Section
27A
of
The
Narcotic
Drugs
and
Psychotropic
Substances
Act,
1985
(NDPS)
was
the
reason
for
rejection
of
her
bail
plea.
Rhea
Chakraborty
has
already
been
questioned
by

for

days,
therefore
the

not
demand
for

asked
for
judicial
custody.
However,
it
is
learnt
that
her
lawyer
Satish
Maneshinde
may
move
the
Sessions
Court
to
seek
bail.
