Rhea Chakraborty was arrested today by the Narcotics Control Bureau. A probe was launched by NCB in Sushant Singh Rajput's death case after a drug angle came to light. Post the arrest of Rhea Chakraborty, she was taken to the Sion hospital for a medical examination. Now, she is expected to be produced in front of the magistrate court via video conferencing at 7.30 pm. Now, as per the latest reports, a NCB official has revealed that they are not going to ask for her custody remand.

To ANI, Mutha Ashok Jain, Deputy DG, South-Western Region, NCB stated, "Rhea Chakraborty will be produced before a magistrate shortly. We don't need her custody remand so we'll seek judicial custody. We aren't asking for her custody remand as whatever we wanted to cross with her, we've done already." Further, he also suggested that whatever Rhea said was enough to get her arrested. He quoted, "Rhea was sent for a routine medical check-up. She tested negative for COVID-19. Whatever she told was sufficient for the arrest. We have arrested her, it means we had enough." However, he did mention that they did not recover any contraband from Rhea.
