The Narcotics Control Bureau has approached the Bombay High Court seeking cancellation of bail granted to Showik Chakraborty, brother of Bollywood actor Rhea Chakraborty in a case registered against him on allegations that he procured drugs for the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
The application filed through advocate Shriram Sirsath has contended that the Mumbai Sessions Court granted bail to Chakraborty ignoring the findings and observation made by the High Court which had rejected his bail application.
It is NCB's argument that Chakraborty was arrested after his voluntary statement and alleged involvement in dealing of the illicit drugs.
The application further submits that once the High Court has concluded on Chakraborty's involvement and the rigours of Section 37, there was no cogent reason to take a different view in the absence of fresh material.
Chakraborty was remanded to judicial custody on September 9, 2020. The Special Court had rejected his first bail application on September 11, 2020.
On October 7, 2020, the Bombay High Court refused to grant him bail, although his sister, Rhea Chakraborty, was granted bail.
All those who have been granted bail, including Rhea, will also have to seek permission of the NCB's investigating officer to go out of Mumbai, the court had said.
