Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau after being interrogated for three days in a row, in the drug case related to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. Apart from her, her brother Showik Chakraborty, Sushant’s house manager Samuel Miranda, among others were also arrested. Now, in Rhea’s bail plea filed in the Bombay High Court, the actress has reportedly said that the investigation by multiple agencies and a simultaneous media trial has taken a severe toll on her mental health and well being.
According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Rhea has mentioned in her bail application that any further custody will only worsen her mental health. Her bail application has been filed through advocate Satish Maneshinde and it says that Rhea is innocent, and that the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is deliberately trying to invoke stringent charges on her. The plea also calls the investigation by the central agencies (Central Bureau of Investigation, Enforcement Directorate and the NCB), a ‘witch-hunt’.
The application also stated that Sushant Singh Rajput was the only consumer of drugs and that he used to direct his staff members Samuel Miranda and Dipesh Sawant to procure his drugs. “Apart from that, the prosecution has made statements to the effect that applicant (Chakraborty) and her brother, Showik, were used by the late actor to procure drugs for himself,” Mumbia Mirror quoted Rhea’s bail application.
