Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik finally gets bail in drugs case after 3 months

Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik Chakraborty has been granted bail by a special court in Mumbai on Wednesday. Showik was arrested three months back in drugs-related charges in the Sushant Singh Rajput case. Rhea Chakraborty was granted bail and released on October, nearly a month after her arrest by the Narcotics Control Bureau. Both Rhea and Showik were arrested by the NCB in a drug probe related to late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death case. Showik has been in jail since 4 September, while Rhea Chakraborty was given bail by the Bombay High Court on 7 October. 

Showik and Sushant's house manager Samuel Miranda were arrested on 4 September after being questioned by the anti-drugs bureau. Both of them were charged under multiple sections of the anti-narcotics law. The NCB had earlier said that Rhea Chakraborty and her brother used to facilitate drug deliveries and payment through credit cards, cash and other payment gateways for use by Rajput. After her release from jail, Rhea, was asked to furnish Bail amount of one lakh and also told to deposit her passport with the investigating agency. The Sonali Cable actor was also asked to attend the office of the investigating agency on first Monday of every month between 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. to mark her presence, for a period of six months. While for a period of 10 days after her release, the court has asked Rhea to present herself to the nearest police station. The anti-drugs bureau has been probing the alleged use of drugs in some quarters of Bollywood, which came to the fore after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput in June.
