The actor was arrested after questioning for three consecutive days. As per reports, The NCB had said in its remand application, “Rhea is an active member of a drug syndicate and used to manage finance for drug procurement along with the late actor.”
“We have sufficient material to arrest her, but I will not comment on the evidence in this case. We will produce that before the court,” the agency added.
