So here is most inconvenient truth: if NCB case stands in court,then Sushant if he was alive would have been prime accused as a consumer, procurer and financier of drugs! So much for Justice for SSR: this is what the campaign has done: a fine actor’s legacy tied to drug abuse! — Indrajit Chakraborty (@IndrajitChakra) September 8, 2020

I knew Sushant very well....

He will be very sad today#JusticeForSSR & #JusticeForRhea — Indrajit Chakraborty (@IndrajitChakra) September 8, 2020

Rhea has been sent to judicial custody till September 22 by a local court after bail plea was rejected. 

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has claimed that Rhea was an "active member" of a drugs syndicate and procured drugs for Sushant. "Rhea has been arrested under sections 27A, 21, 22, 29 and 28 of NDPS," said K P S Malhotra, Deputy Director of NCB.

Various angles surrounding the death of Sushant are being probed by three federal agencies, including the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Rhea has been accused of abetment to suicide in connection with Sushant's death which the CBI is probing, and a related money laundering case being probed by the ED.
