NCB Chargesheet Claims Rhea Chakraborty Funded Drug Deals & Conspired To Sell
The NCB chargesheet reportedly involved the stringent charge of "illicit trafficking and harbouring of offenders" against actor Rhea Chakraborty and 32 others.
The
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
on
Friday
(March
5)
field
a
chargesheet
in
the
drugs
case
in
connection
with
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
case.
The
chargesheet
reportedly
involved
the
stringent
charge
of
"illicit
trafficking
and
harbouring
of
offenders" against
actor
Rhea
Chakraborty
and
32
others.
According
to
reports,
under
Section
27A
of
the
NDPS
Act,
the
charged
can
be
sentenced
to
a
minimum
of
10
years
and
a
maximum
of
20
years
in
jail.
In
the
12000-page-long
chargesheet,
the
agency
has
alleged
that
Rhea
since
November
2019,
with
consent,
has
accepted
and
stored
drugs
at
her
residence.
NCB
has
also
claimed
that
Rhea
had
"facilitated
her
house"
(sic)
to
Rajput,
her
boyfriend,
for
the
consumption
of
drugs.
A
TOI
report
quoted
NCB
saying,
"She
has
provided
funds
for
the
purchase
of
drugs,
thus,
she
has
financed
an
activity
related
to
illicit
drug
dealings.
Rhea
Chakraborty
has
facilitated
a
channel
of
supply
of
drugs
with
the
help
of
her
brother
Showik
Chakraborty..."
Apart
from
Rhea,
the
chargesheet
also
named
her
brother
Showik,
Sushant's
cook
Dipesh
Sawant,
house
manager
Samuel
Miranda
and
Rishikesh
Pawar.
It
stated
that
all
procured
drugs
and
supplied
them
to
the
late
actor.
The
NCB
also
alleged
that
Rhea
had
conspired
to
procure,
possess,
sell
and
transport,
"import
interstate,
export
interstate",
and
was
"dealing
with
ganja,
marijuana
and
bud." While
the
bureau
has
filed
the
chargesheet
on
the
basis
of
the
available
evidence
and
statements
by
200
witnesses.
Back
in
2020,
the
Bombay
high
court
granted
Rhea
bail
by
stating
that
no
evidence
was
found
against
the
actress.
Rhea
was
granted
bail
on
October
7,
2020,
a
month
after
her
arrest
by
the
NCB.
Several
more
accused
in
the
case
are
out
on
bail,
but
eight
are
still
in
NCB's
custody.
The
agency
has
also
revealed
that
another
chargesheet
will
be
filed
against
Komal
Rampal,
Swapna
Pubby,
Karishma
Prakash
and
14
others.
