Narcotics Control Bureau has arrested Rhea Chakraborty today under the various sections of NDPS. She has been sent to 14 days judicial custody as the Court rejected her bail plea. Rhea had earlier denied consuming drugs. Rhea has been asked to approach the sessions court with her bail plea. CMM’s Court, before whom she was being produced, has rejected her bail plea saying that they cannot grant bail for cognisable offences.

Her brother Showik Chakraborty was arrested last week in the case along with Sushant’s ex-house manager Samuel Miranda and the actor’s househelp Dipesh Sawant. The NCB is likely to file a plea to keep all the four in police remand for further questioning. Reportedly, the NCB is aiming to break the drug cartel and hence Rhea’s custodial interrogation is needed.
