According to Times Of India, Rhea had moved the special Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) court seeking bail and had retracted her statement to the NCB. As per TOI, Rhea's plea stated, “The NCB has used these basic facts to spin a false narrative that portrays Rhea as being someone who finances the illicit traffic or harbouring of offenders. There is no allegation of Rhea having procured or financed any drug whatsoever outside of the period during which she was in a relationship with Rajput.”
