Showik Chakraborty was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on the 4th of September over drug angle in the Sushant Singh Rajput case.
Now, three months later, Showik has been granted bail by a special court in Mumbai.
As per an NDTV report, Showik Chakraborty was arrested along with Mr Rajput’s house manager Samuel Miranda, after being questioned by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), which is probing allegations of drug abuse surrounding Rajput’s death in June. They were charged under multiple sections of the anti-narcotics law.
Showik was denied bail thrice previously. He was also denied bail by the Bombay High Court when his sister was granted bail. The court had said there is enough evidence to show that he is part of a chain of drug dealers engaged in the trafficking of banned substances.
The anti-drugs agency mentioned that the Rhea and Showik had bought drugs, not for their own use but to supply them to Sushant, which is “a more serious offence”.
