Bollywood
actress
Rhea
Chakraborty
has
been
granted
bail
by
the
Bombay
High
Court
on
October
7,
2020.
The
actress
spent
almost
a
month
(28
days)
in
judicial
custody
after
her
arrest
on
September
8,
2020
in
connection
with
the
drugs
case
in
Bollywood
being
investigated
by
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB).
On
October
6,
it
was
reported
that
Rhea
Chakraborty's
jail
time
had
been
further
extended
till
October
20
by
the
special
Narcotics
Drugs
and
Psychotropic
Substances
Act
(NDPS)
court.
But
now,
the
actress
has
been
granted
bail
by
the
Bombay
HC.
Rhea
Chabraborty's
lawyer
Satish
Maneshinde
said
in
a
statement
to
the
media
after
her
bail:
"We
are
delighted
by
the
Order
of
the
Hon'ble
Bombay
High
Court
granting
bail
to
Rhea
Chakraborty.
Truth
and
Justice
have
prevailed
and
ultimately
the
submissions
on
facts
and
law
have
been
accepted
by
Justice
Sarang
V
Kotwal.
The
arrest
and
custody
of
Rhea
was
totally
unwarranted
and
beyond
the
reach
of
law.
The
hounding
and
witch
hunt
by
three
central
agencies...the
CBI,
ED
and
NCB
of
Rhea
should
come
to
and
end.
We
remain
committed
to
Truth.
Satya
Meva
Jayate
🙏".

Moreover,

days.
Rhea
also
cannot
travel
outside
Mumbai
without
the
court's
permission
and
has
to
submit
her
passport
to
the
authorities.
On
October
6,
Rhea
Chakraborty's
lawyer
had
alleged
that
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
family
is
tampering
with
the
probe
of
Sushant's
death
and
pressurising
the
doctors
at
the
All
India
Institute
of
Medical
Sciences
(AIIMS)
who
are
reinvestigating
the
forensics.
Satish
Maneshinde
said,
"The
SC
on
19th
Aug
2020,
To
ensure
public
confidence
in
the
Investigation
and
to
do
complete
justice
in
the
matter
(of
SSR
Death
Case)
considered
it
appropriate
to
accord
approval
for
the
ongoing
CBI
investigation
into
the
Case
Registered
at
Patna
and
directed
transfer
of
any
case
registered
on
the
death
of
SSR
into
the
circumstances
of
his
unnatural
death
to
CBI.
The
Bandra
Police
registered
a
case
on
the
allegations
of
Rhea
Chakraborty
against
the
Sisters
of
SSR
in
relation
to
illegal
administration
of
medicines
on
the
basis
of
forged
prescription
which
could
be
the
Cause
of
SSR
Death
and
transferred
it
on
9th
Sept
2020
to
the
CBI
as
per
the
orders
of
the
SC.
Therefore
the
family
also
stands
to
face
investigations
in
the
case.
The
CBI
is
independently
and
impartially
investigating
both
the
cases."
"The
CBI
is
supposed
to
be
insulated
and
free
from
any
interference.
It
is
disturbing
to
learn
that
the
family
of
SSR
and
its
lawyers
are
interfering
and
tampering
with
the
investigations
by
bringing
pressure
on
the
AIIMS
team
of
doctors
by
speaking
to
them
during
investigations
and
releasing
purported
audio
recorded
conversations
and
information
to
the
Media
in
order
to
bring
pressure
and
tamper
with
potential
witnesses.
The
SSR
family
lawyer
is
supposed
to
have
said
that
he
is
going
to
meet
the
CBI
Director
to
get
the
family's
predetermined
path
of
investigations
in
SSR
death.
It
is
very
disturbing
to
read
such
information
in
the
Media
as
attempts
are
being
made
to
get
a
predetermined
result
in
the
case.
Any
further
attempts
to
interfere
and
tampering
in
the
investigations
would
be
brought
to
the
notice
of
the
appropriate
courts," the
lawyer
added.
The
Bombay
High
Court
has
rejected
the
bail
of
Abdel
Basit
Parihar,
the
student
who
is
accused
of
supplying
narcotics
to
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
through
Showik
Chakraborty.
