Keswani files bail plea, co-accused’s bail rejected

An accused in the drugs case related to late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, Anuj Keswani, on Tuesday filed a bail application before a special court, while the court on the same day denied bail to his co-accused Chris Pereira.

In his first bail plea filed on Tuesday, Keswani said that as per the recent Supreme Court ruling, Section 67 of the NDPS Act, which gives powers to officers to record “confessional” statements, was not applicable during pre-trial stage.
