A Mumbai court on Tuesday extended the judicial custody of Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik Chakraborty and others till October 20.
Earlier, Magistrate’s Court and Special NDPS Court had rejected Rhea’s bail application.
Rhea's counsel Satish Maneshinde had also moved the bail applications for Rhea and her brother Showik in the Bombay High Court. "They have cooperated with the investigations. The allegations against the applicants would at the most make out a case of purchasing of drugs which is a bailable offence. There is no shred of evidence to connect the applicants with the financing of any illicit traffic or harbouring any offenders,” he had said.
Last week, however, the Bombay High Court had reserved the order.
Rhea (28) is currently lodged in the Women’s Prison at Byculla in Mumbai.
They were arrested for their involvement in procuring drugs for late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
