Rhea tests negative for COVID 19, actress to be lodged in NCB's lock up

In the latest development, actress Rhea Chakraborty has tested negative for COVID 19 according to a India Today report.  Moreover, the actress is most likely to stay in Narcotics Control Bureau's lock up. The news reports also add that the actress has been arrested under sections 8 (c), 20 (b), 27 (a), 28 and 29 of the NDPS Act. Rhea Chakraborty will reportedly be produced in court via a digital conference at 7.30 PM. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Tuesday arrested Rhea Chakraborty for procuring and consuming drugs. The arrest comes after three days of questioning by the NCB. Rhea Chakraborty was being questioned over drug abuse case in connection with the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput on June 14. The NCB had questioned her for about eight hours on Monday and six hours on Sunday. 

The 28-year-old was confronted with her younger brother Showik Chakraborty (24), Rajput’s house manager Samuel Miranda (33) and his house staffer Dipesh Sawant to ascertain their roles in an alleged drug racket. The NCB arrested the three men in this case last week. Chakraborty’s family and lawyer had said that they anticipate her arrest after Showik was taken into custody. The agency had earlier said that it had obtained mobile phone chat records and other electronic data that suggested some banned drugs were allegedly procured by these people. Sushant Singh Rajput’s autopsy had indicated that he died by suicide. His father, however, filed an FIR against Rhea Chakraborty in Patna, accusing her of driving his son to suicide and misappropriating his money. Chakraborty has denied the allegations on several occasions.
