Earlier this month, The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) submitted a chargesheet in the drugs case related to Sushant’s case. Rhea was accused of “illicit trafficking” and “harbouring offenders” charge was levelled against her. These charges fall under Section 27A of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and the person convicted is sent 10 to 20 years of imprisonment.

Reacting to the chargesheet, Rhea’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde said, “All efforts of NCB have been directed towards Rhea Chakraborty to somehow rope her in. The entire amount of “Narcotic Substances” “Recovered” against 33 accused are nothing compared to what even a constable in Mumbai Police or Narcotics Cell or the Airport Customs or other agencies recover from one raid or trap.”
