Bombay High Court Grants Rhea Chakraborty Major Relief
On September 30, the Bombay High Court directed the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) to return the actress’s passport, permanently relaxing her bail conditions imposed during the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. Earlier, after the death of the late actor, Rhea was arrested and granted bail the following month, with the condition to deposit her passport with the NCB.
India Today reported that in her fresh application filed through advocate Ayaz Khan, Rhea Chakraborty urged to get relief from the condition, as it caused her to lose opportunities overseas. Meanwhile, an NCB representative, advocate SK Halwasia, opposed her request, stating that she should be treated as any other common person. The NCB representative also urged that she should not get any ease just because of her celebrity status.
“There is no reason to doubt her availability for the trial’s conclusion,” Justice Gokhale said while granting her relaxation, noting that other accused in the same case had received similar relief. The court highlighted that Chakraborty had consistently returned from approved trips, participated in trial proceedings, and fully cooperated with the investigation.
