Actor Rhea Chakraborty was sent to a 14-day judicial custody by a Mumbai court on Monday. After three days of questioning, Rhea was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in a drugs case linked to her boyfriend and actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.

The sections of the NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) Act invoked against her include 8(c) (sale, possession or manufacture of banned drugs), 20(b) (ii) (possession or use of small quantity of banned drugs), as per her lawyers.

“Rhea has been arrested under sections 27A, 21, 22, 29 and 28 of NDPS,” KPS Malhotra, Deputy Director of NCB told news agency PTI.

Earlier the NCB had arrested her brother Showik Chakraborty, Sushant Singh Rajput’s manager Samuel Miranda and his domestic help Dipesh Sawant in the case.

In the morning, when Rhea reached the NCB office at Ballard Estate in South Mumbai around 10.30 for questioning, she was seen carrying a bag.

In her TV interviews, she maintained that she never took drugs.

Her lawyer Satish Maneshinde called her arrest a “complete travesty of justice.”

“Three central agencies hounding a single woman, just because she was in love with a drug addict and a person suffering from mental health issues,” he added.

Rajput, who allegedly hanged himself at his Bandra residence here on June 14, had been treated by five leading psychiatrists in the city, Maneshinde claimed.

Rhea Chakraborty was recently interrogated by the CBI probe team as she is the accused in the abetment of suicide case filed by Rajput’s father, and also by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case.

She has denied all the allegations many times.
