In a massive development in the Sushant Singh Rajput case, Rhea Chakraborty’s brother Showik and late actor’s house manager Samuel Miranda have been sent to 4-day custody of both to the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) till September 9. Alleged drug peddler Kaizan has been sent to 14 days of judicial custody.
NCB on Saturday, produced the two accused before the Esplanade court and the hearing is still underway. Reportedly, NCB has sought 7-day custody as some people connected with the case are being summoned and they need some time for confrontation purposes. It has also told the court that they have given some fresh names and to evaluate the facts, NCB would require those people in remand.
On the other hand, it has come to light that Showik’s lawyer, Satish Maneshinde is opposing the NCB remand as no seizures have been made during the raids. Thus, going by the NDPS act, remand for a week is not possible.
Currently, intense arguments are going on inside the court. The court is going through the case papers, the recoveries being made, the drug cartels, and other things.
Before producing the convicts before the court, NCB took Showik and Miranda to a hospital for their medical check-up. As of now, they have not undergone any drug test.
Showik Chakraborty has confessed during his interrogation with the NCB that he used to arrange the drugs on his sister Rhea’s instructions. He also stated that Samuel Miranda used to arrange it and bring it to Sushant’s home. Showik also was in touch with many drug peddlers.
