RHEA’S BROTHER SHOWIK GETS BAIL IN DRUGS CASE

Showik, brother of Bollywood actor Rhea Chakraborty, was on Wednesday granted bail by a special narcotics court in Mumbai in connection with a drugs case related to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

Showik Chakraborty had recently moved a fresh bail application before the special (Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) court in light of a recent Supreme Court judgment, which declared the statements under Section 67 of the NDPS Act inadmissible.

The NCB had arrested Showik, his sister, and others under several relevant sections of the NDPS Act in connection with a case emerging out of the investigation into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput.

“...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,” the fresh bail application said.

It had said a perusal of the remand applications of all the accused arrested in the case makes it evident that there is nothing on record to suggest that the present applicant is in any way involved with the financing, illicit trafficking and/or harboring of offenders in relation to any narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances.
