The bail hearing of actor Rhea Chakraborty, arrested over drugs-related charges linked to the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, has been deferred to Friday. The arguments in the hearing concluded on Thursday and the order for all the accused arrested in the case is likely to be out tomorrow.
Ms Chakraborty, 28, was arrested on Monday over charges of buying drugs for her boyfriend, Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput, who was found dead in his Mumbai apartment in June. The local police had called it death by suicide but his family blamed Ms Chakraborty for his death, alleging she financially cheated and harassed him.
The actor today said in her bail request that she was coerced into making self-incriminatory confessions, which she retracted. She also said her life is at risk in judicial custody, that she received rape and death threats and that three investigations have "taken a severe toll on her mental health and well-being".
