JAKARTA - A special court rejected a bail application for Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty in connection with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) investigation into a drug-related perspective in the death case of Sushant Singh Rajput. What is the reason?

The ANI news agency reported, reported by Hindustan Times, Wednesday, September 16, that the additional trial of judge GB Gurao from the Narcotics and Psychotropics Court (NDPS) observed on September 11 that because the investigation was still in its early stages, if the defendant was given a guarantee he could destroy the prosecution evidence. .

“Moreover, according to the prosecutor, the defendant had mentioned someone else's name. An investigation into those individuals is in progress. If the defendant is released on bail then he will tell the people and they will destroy the evidence. There is a possibility of tampering with evidence, "the order said.

It added that Chakraborty's statements were recorded by NCB on September 6,7 and 8 and the actor was also granted police protection at his request.

“The prosecution revealed the defendant's role based on that statement and after that, he was arrested in the crime. Therefore, at this stage, while the investigation is still in its early stages, it cannot be said that the statement was forcibly recorded and cannot be accepted as evidence, "the order reads.

The court also noted that Chakraborty was arrested on charges without bail.

"Section 27-A of the NDPS Act as discussed above deals with the illicit drug trafficking, given that the penalties specified for offenses punishable under this article cannot be borne," he said.

The court cited electronic evidence and WhatsApp chat that NCB had recovered. It was also observed that some money was transferred via the defendant's credit card and that some commercial LSD was recovered from one of the defendants Anuj Keshwani.

The 28-year-old actress, in her bail application, stated that NCB has not disclosed any connection between herself and any of the drug dealers. He also claimed that during his detention he was forced to make damning confessions and that statement was withdrawn on September 8.

Chakraborty and her brother Showik have been returned to central agency custody until September 22. Requests for bail from Rajput's home manager Samuel Miranda, his domestic helper Dipesh Sawant, suspected drug traffickers Abdul Basit and Zaid Vilatra apart from Rhea and Showik have also been rejected by the court.

NCB has so far arrested 18 people in connection with the case.
