Rhea Chakraborty to be in jail till October 6 in drug case: Key details

Rhea Chakraborty's judicial custody was on Tuesday extended till October 6 by a special Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act court.

Rhea was arrested by the NCB for her alleged involvement in a drugs case linked to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.

NCB arrested the 28-year-old actor on September 8 after questioning her for three consecutive days beginning September 6.

If found guilty, she faces up to ten years in jail.

Before this, she was remanded to 14-day judicial custody.

Rhea and her brother Showik have now filed a bail application in the Bombay HC which the court will take up on Wednesday.

Rhea was arrested on the basis of statements from other accused who have been arrested in connection with the case.

Rhea has been charged under various sections of the NDPS Act.

She was earlier confronted with Showik, Sushant's house manager Samuel Miranda and his house staff Dipesh Sawant to ascertain their roles in an alleged drug racket.

As many as 18 people, including Rhea, her brother Showik, and drug peddlers from Mumbai and Goa have been arrested by the NCB so far.

The agency’s probe has also brought past and present Bollywood A-listers and others on its radar.
