Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty will have to stay in jail as the bail plea is rejected by court in Mumbai. Even her brother Showik Chakraborty and other accused have also been rejected.
Even earlier her bail plea was rejected and she was sent to jail till September 22.
In her new request, she had retracted her confession and said she was “coerced into making self-incriminatory confessions”. She said her life is at risk in judicial custody, that she had received rape and death threats and that three investigations had “taken a severe toll on her mental health and well-being”.
In her bail plea Rhea has written that she has not committed any crime “not committed any crime whatsoever and has been falsely implicated in the case”.
But the Narcotics Control Bureau argued that she had conscious knowledge of drugs use by her boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput and “made herself part of this offence by procuring drugs.”
During a court hearing on the actor’s bail plea, the anti-drugs bureau alleged that Rhea Chakraborty used her credit card and payment gateways to facilitate financial transactions related to dealing of illicit drug trafficking. She also made “voluntary confession” about her involvement during questioning and it is admissible in the court of law, said the agency, countering Rhea Chakraborty’s assertion that she had been “coerced into confessing”.
