Sushant Singh Rajput Case: Showik Chakraborty Files Fresh Bail Plea After 2 Months in Jail
News 18Arrested over two months ago on peddling charges, actress Rhea Chakraborty’s brother Showik Chakraborty has moved a fresh bail plea in a special court in an NDPS case, his lawyers said on Saturday. The special NDPS court is likely to hear his bail plea next week, which was earlier rejected by the same court, Metropolitan Court, and the Bombay High Court, his lawyer Satish Maneshinde said. “In the facts and circumstances of the present case, there has been no recovery of drugs in commercial quantity from the applicant… all allegations pertain only to small quantities, and hence the embargo imposed by Section 37 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 will not be applicable,” he said in his bail plea. There is not a shred of evidence to connect the applicant with the financing of any illicit traffic or harbouring any offenders and hence the ingredients of Section 27 of the NDPS Act, 1985 are not made out in the present facts and circumstances.” Showik said that there was electronic evidence to show that the applicant’s sister was in fact trying her level best to rid the late actor Sushant of his alleged drugs-consuming habit by consistently restricting the doses he had access to.
