The special court in Mumbai had earlier rejected the bail pleas of the actor and her brother on the grounds that the actor may alert others if released on bail and that might lead to ‘contamination of evidence’.
The actor and her brother had approached the Bombay High Court to seek bail and the high court has reserved its order on their petitions.
However, actor Chakraborty has maintained that she is innocent.
The drug related probe by the NCB is on the basis of WhatsApp chats relating to drugs. In this probe the agency has questioned Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, and others in this case.
Actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14. Apart from NCB, Rajput’s death case is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

For the Chakraborty family, this marks the end of a relentless media trial that began in 2020 when Rhea was painted as the prime suspect in Sushant’s death.
On Saturday, CBI in its closure reports said that it did not find any evidence that anyone had driven Sushant Singh Rajput to suicide, and Rhea Chakraborty and her family have been given a clean chit.
