SSR case: Rhea Chakraborty sent to 14-day judicial custody

Mumbai: A court on Tuesday, September 8 remanded Rhea Chakraborty, arrested in a drug case related to actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, in judicial custody till September 22 while rejecting her bail plea.

She was produced by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) before an additional chief judicial magistrate through video- conference after her arrest.

The NCB claimed that she was an “active member” of a drug syndicate and procured drugs for Rajput, her boyfriend.

The court rejected her bail plea and sent her in judicial custody till September 22 after the NCB said it did not want her custody as it has already questioned her for three days.

Her lawyer Satish Maneshinde said they will approach the sessions court for bail.
