About three months after arrest, a special court on Wednesday has granted bail to Showik Chakraborty, brother of actor Rhea Chakraborty, in an alleged drugs case filed after the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Showik was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in September after the probe agency alleged that actress Rhea Chakraborty and him used to co-ordinate the delivery of drugs for the late actor.
Showik was sent to the Taloja Central Jail in Raigad and was denied bail thrice, previously. Earlier, the special court as well as the Bombay High Court had rejected his bail pleas on the ground that not only was he in touch with drug dealers but also facilitating procurement of drugs for supplying them to actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who died by suicide on June 14.
