After
Rhea
Chakraborty
was
released
from
Byculla
Jail
on
Wednesday,
(October
7),
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
family
lawyer
Vikas
Singh
said
that
the
drugs
case
against
her
was
weak.
Rhea,
who
was
arrested
by
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
on
allegations
of
procuring
drugs
on
behalf
of
Sushant,
was
released
on
bail
by
the
Bombay
High
Court.
Speaking
to
ANI,
Vikas
Singh
said,
"The
bail
given
to
Rhea
is
on
the
premise
of
a
narcotics
case
against
her,
which
is
very
weak
according
to
me.
The
real
question
is
whether
or
not
she
administered
the
drugs
to
Sushant
without
his
knowledge.
Did
she
tell
doctors,
to
whom
she
took
him
for
treatment,
about
his
usage."
A
single-judge
bench
of
Justice
Sarang
Kotwal
released
Rhea
on
grounds
for
believing
that
she
is
not
guilty
of
any
offence
punishable
under
Sections
19,
24,
or
27A
of
the
NDPS
Act,
or
any
other
offence
involving
commercial
quantity.
At
the
bail
hearing,
the
bench
said,
"There
are
no
other
criminal
antecedents
against
her.
She
is
not
part
of
the
chain
of
drug
dealers.
She
has
not
forwarded
the
drugs
allegedly
procured
by
her
to
somebody
else
to
earn
monetary
or
other
benefits.
Since
she
has
no
criminal
antecedents,
there
are
reasonable
grounds
for
believing
that
she
is
not
likely
to
commit
any
offence
while
on
bail."
It
continued,
"The
learned
Additional
Solicitor
General
had
argued
that
the
celebrities
and
role
models
should
be
treated
harshly
so
that
it
sets
an
example
for
the
young
generation
and
they
do
not
get
encouraged
to
commit
such
offences.
I
do
not
agree.
Everybody
is
equal
before
law."
It
added,
"No
celebrity
or
role
model
enjoys
any
special
privilege
before
the
Court
of
law.
Similarly,
such
person
also
does
not
incur
any
special
liability
when
he
faces
law
in
the
Courts.
Each
case
will
have
to
be
decided
on
its
own
merits
irrespective
of
the
status
of
the
accused."
Meanwhile,
the
conclusive
report
by
a
forensic
team
of
AIIMS
which
was
investigating
Sushant's
death,
ruled
out
murder
as
a
cause
of
his
death
and
stated
the
actor
died
by
hanging
and
suicide.
