NCB submits affidavits ahead of Rhea Chakraborty’s bail plea

Rhea Chakraborty and brother Showik Chakraborty are in extended judicial custody. To get a bail for the second time, they approached the Bombay High Court. However on this, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has submitted the affidavit to the court. The bail plea for the brother-sister duo is up for hearing today.

According to the affidavit, there is enough evidence to show that Rhea was financing the trafficking of drugs. Earlier too, Rhea moved to HC for her bail where she said that she is being subjected to a witch hunt and that no lady officer was present during her interrogation.

Today again HC is set to hear her bail plea. But before that, NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede, submitted affidavits, which said that. “Electronic evidence such as WhatsApp chats, records were retrieved from mobile, laptop and hard-disk and it indicated payment made for the drugs. Thus, there is ample evidence to show present applicant (Rhea Chakraborty) has not only regularly dealt with but also financed illicit trafficking of drugs.”

The NCB said that even when Rhea knew that Sushant Singh Rajput consumes drugs she kept on concealing him. The documents further read, “It is further submitted that if overall scenario is seen, then the present applicant (Rhea Chakraborty) being aware of the fact that Sushant Singh Rajput being someone who is engaged in consumption has harboured him and concealed him whilst he was engaged in consuming the drugs. This would amount to harbouring. The present applicant also allowed her residence for drug storage and consumption for Sushant Singh Rajput.”

The NCB has stated in the affidavits that there are enough proofs against Rhea proving her drug connections and that she is an active member of the drug syndicate having some big personalities connected. “It is submitted that there is sufficient evidence that she is involved in drug trafficking. The applicant (Rhea Chakraborty) used to facilitate drug deliveries and payment through credit cards/cash/payment gateways for the contraband,” the affidavit read.
