Bombay High Court has granted Bail to Rhea Chakraborty, Dipesh Sawant and Samuel Miranda in the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act by the Narcotics Control Bureau . Bail pleas by Abdul Parihar, Showik Chakraborty have been rejected by the court.

The Narcotics Control Bureau is an Indian federal law enforcement and intelligence agency under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India. The agency is responsible for combating drug trafficking and the use of illegal substances under the provisions of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. 

Justice SV Kotwal of the Bombay High Court today granted bail to Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty, Dipesh Sawant and Samuel Miranda in cases registered under the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (hereinafter referred as NDPS ) Act by the Narcotics Control Bureau (hereinafter referred as NCB ).

The court added, “Therefore, I am satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the applicant that is Rhea is not guilty of any offence punishable under sections 19, 24 or 27A or any other offence involving commercial quantity. There are no other criminal antecedents against her; she is not part of the chain of drug dealers. She has not forwarded the drugs illegally procured by her to somebody else to earn monetary or other benefits. Since she has no criminal antecedents there are reasonable grounds for believing that she is not likely to commit any offence while on bail.”

The Court, however, rejected the bail applications filed by Abdul Parihar and Showik Chakraborty, who are also accused of NDPS offences by the NCB.
