As reported by Times Now, Rhea and Showik are likely to file their bail applications today with a plea for urgent hearing. Two separate applications will be filed and they will be requesting for urgent hearing so that their pleas could be heard tomorrow by the court. Post her arrest by NCB, Rhea was produced in front of the magistrate court via video conferencing and was later sent to 14-days of judicial custody.
Rhea Chakraborty's lawyer Satish Manshinde in a statement given out on Monday had stated that they are not in a hurry to apply for bail. He was quoted saying, "Even if we get a copy of the Order today, we are not in a hurry and moving immediately… we will study the order, it’s implications and developments in the case at the NCB level and then decide. There’s no room for speculation… once it is filed we will share a copy of the bail application.”
