JAKARTA - The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Monday filed a written statement at the Bombay High Court stating that actress Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik were part of a high-profile drug syndicate. Therefore, article 27A (financing illicit drug trafficking or port offenders) of the NDPS Narcotics and Psychotropics Act applies to them.

This happened several days after the defense stated that the article did not apply in that case.

Launching MID-DAY, an 18-page written statement filed by NCB zone director Sameer Wankhede stated, "There is enough material to show that the current applicant (Rhea Chakraborty) is involved in financing the illicit trafficking of drugs and their distribution. Even after knowing this fact. that Sushant Singh Rajput took medicines, the applicant hid them. He also kept medicines in his residence and allowed Sushant to take them.

"Electronic evidence such as WhatsApp chats and others is taken from cell phones, laptops and hard disks and it shows payments made for the drugs. There is ample evidence to suggest that current applicants not only regularly handle drugs but also fund their trafficking illegally. , "the written statement further.

NCB also said that Rhea and Showik were active members of drug syndicates linked to well-known individuals and drug suppliers. If they are given bail it will hinder the investigation.

Does 27A Apply?

Talking about the application of Article 27A, NCB in its written statement also stated, "As stated by Rhea and Showik, they handled drugs on behalf of Sushant and he immediately made payments for the drugs sent to Samuel Miranda, Dipesh Sawant and others. He has accepted that some of the money has been paid in cash and the remainder via debit card and Google Pay. Therefore, it is clear that he has been actively assisting, abetting and financing other suspects for drug transactions with the aim of committing criminal conspiracy. intended for personal consumption but for supply to others. Therefore, 27A of the Narcotics and Psychotropics Act 1985 clearly applies. "

Responding to Rhea's attorney Satish Maneshinde's statement that NCB does not have jurisdiction to investigate the case as it is related to Sushant, Wankhede in his written statement said, "I have passed the verdict and I humbly say that the observation relates to Sushant's death and his surroundings.

This is not related to the investigation of the current case, which is stipulated in the NDPS Act. Therefore, the NCB has jurisdiction to investigate the case. "

The high court will hear all applications for bail today, Tuesday, September 29. If Rhea and Showik are found guilty, they face imprisonment for a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 20 years with a fine of Rs2 lakh, equivalent to IDR 40.24 million.

There is Evidence Against Kshitij

Issued a statement on the allegations of former Dharma Productions employee Kshitij Prasad, who said he was tortured and blackmailed by NCB police, the agency said, "This is simply not true. NCB arrested Kshitij Ravi Prasad because some incriminating evidence had been found from him. His lawyer and his family (mother) was notified according to procedure. He was also allowed to meet his father-in-law and wife. Since Kshitij did not cooperate in the investigation, we have submitted a request to the court to grant his detention. "

No Aspects Ruled Out

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) also issued a statement after the Sushant family's lawyer Vikas Singh told a press conference on Saturday that the CBI had postponed the investigation and did not register a murder case.

In the statement the CBI said, "We are carrying out a professional investigation into Sushant's death where all aspects are being examined and nothing has been ruled out to date.
