Mumbai court sends three accused to judicial custody till Sept 23 in drugs case related to Sushant's death

A Mumbai court on Wednesday sent Karamjeet Singh, Dwayne Fernandes and Ankush Anreja to judicial custody till September 23 in connection with the drugs case related to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), which is probing the case had last week arrested Karamjeet Singh from Andheri West area of Mumbai in the drugs case. The NCB has arrested several people in the case including actor Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik, Abdul Basit Parihar, Zaid Vilatra, Dipesh Sawant and Samuel Miranda.

Meanwhile, a special NDPS court had last week also rejected the bail plea of actor Rhea Chakraborty, Showik and several others in the matter.

The NCB had launched an investigation after it received official communication from Enforcement Directorate (ED), in which there were various chats related to drug consumption, procurement, usage and transportation in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput case.

The ED had on July 31 registered an Enforcement Case Information Report in the late actor's death case after a First Information Report was filed by Rajput's father KK Singh against Rhea Chakraborty in Bihar on July 28.

Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14.
