A special court in Mumbai on Friday rejected bail pleas filed by actor Rhea, her brother Showik and three others, in the drug case. Rhea, Showik and others were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with the probe.
The NCB arrested Rhea on Tuesday, after three days of interrogation, on charges of procuring drugs for Sushant. Sushant was found dead at his Bandra apartment on June 14.
In her bail application, Rhea has alleged that during her interrogation by the NCB, she was “coerced” into making “self-incriminating confessions”. She claimed that she has not committed any crime whatsoever and has been falsely implicated in the case.
The NCB is probing the drug angle in this case under criminal sections of the NDPS Act. Various angles surrounding the death of the Sushant Singh Rajput are being probed by three federal agencies- the NCB, the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
