The NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) has filed its draft charge sheet in the case of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. According to the reports, the actor’s former girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty has been charged with abetment of his drug addiction and using his money to buy drugs.
The draft charges have been submitted to the special NDPS court, Mumbai by the NCB.
According to the reports, there are 38 charges against 35 accused in the case. Rhea, among others, has been charged with paying and receiving for banned substances that she procured for Sushant Singh.
In the charge sheet that was filed on Tuesday, the NCB has stated that between March and December 2020, all the 35 accused persons linked with the Sushant Singh Rajput case were involved in a conspiracy to procure finance for drug trafficking, including sales, delivery, and distribution for Bollywood and Mumbai’s high society elites. The contrabands included LSD, Ganja, Cocaine, and other drugs.
The accused Siddharth Pithani, a friend of the late actor, and others including Rhea Chakraborthy, her brother Showik, Sawant, and Samuel Miranda were all allegedly involved in the procurement of ganja that was paid using Sushant’s bank account with Kotak.
It is notable that Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his apartment in June 2020. As the case was taken over by CBI and NCB, Siddharth Pithani was arrested in May 2024. He got bail last week and actress Rhea was granted bail in October 2020.
