India’s narcotics bureau arrests Rhea Chakraborty in drug case

MUMBAI: India’s top Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Tuesday arrested Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty in the drug case related to actor Sushant Singh Rajput suicide case.

Rhea Chakraborty will be taken for a medical test shortly and is likely to be produced before a magistrate through video-conferencing for remand in the evening. Reportedly, she will now be procured before the court, along with three other arrested accused.

Moreover, the NCB is likely to file a plea before the court seeking that they need to keep all four in police remand for further questioning. Possibly she will be confronted with others in days to come and will be taken to places for recovery if any. Reportedly, to break the cartel her custodial interrogation is needed.
