Actress
Rhea
Chakraborty's
brother
Showik
Chakraborty
was
granted
bail
by
a
special
NDPS
court
on
December
2,
three
months
after
his
arrest
in
the
drugs
case
linked
to
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death.
Rhea
Chakraborty,
Sushant's
ex-girlfriend,
had
also
been
arrested
in
the
case
and
had
spent
28
days
in
jail
before
she
was
granted
bail.
ANI
confirmed
the
news
of
Showik
Chakraborty's
bail,
tweeting,
"Special
NDPS
Court
grants
bail
to
Showik
Chakraborty
(Rhea
Chakraborty's
brother)
in
a
drugs
case
registered
by
Narcotics
Control
Bureau."
In
the
first
week
of
November
2020,
Showik
Chakraborty
had
filed
a
fresh
bail
plea
in
a
special
NDPS
court
after
his
bail
plea
got
rejected
several
times
in
the
past.
In
his
bail
application,
he
had
emphasised
that
he
was
not
found
in
possession
of
any
drugs
and
was
being
'falsely
implicated'.
The
bail
application
read,
"In
the
facts
and
circumstances
of
the
present
case,
given
that
no
commercial
quantity
has
been
alleged
in
respect
of
the
applicant,
there
has
been
no
recovery
from
the
applicant
and
that
all
allegations
pertain
only
to
small
quantities,
the
embargo
imposed
by
Section
37
of
the
NDPS
Act,
1985
would
not
be
applicable."
Showik
Chakraborty
and
his
sister
Rhea
Chakraborty
were
arrested
by
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
on
charges
of
procurring
drugs
for
late
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
While
Rhea
Chakraborty
was
granted
bail
by
the
Bombay
High
Court
on
October
7,
Showik,
who
was
in
prison
since
September
4,
was
granted
bail
today
by
a
special
court.
