News giants such as The Times of India, Hindustan Times and ABP News ran headlines which indicated that Rhea Chakraborty’s father Indrajit Chakraborty tweeted condemning rejection of her bail plea and arrest of his daughter on September 8.
The Narcotics Control Bureau on September 8 arrested the model-turned-actress Rhea Chakraborty in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. Chakraborty who was the former partner of the deceased actor was sent to 14-day judicial custody. Earlier in the evening, she was produced before a magistrate via video conferencing and the court rejected Rhea’s bail plea.
‘Actor Rhea Chakraborty has been arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau in Mumbai,’ Times Now quoted KPS Malhotra, Deputy Director of the Narcotics Control Bureau, as saying.
Apart from Chakraborty, seven others have been arrested in connection with the case, this includes, her brother Showik, Sushant’s help Deepesh Sawant and house manager Samuel Miranda.
