Rhea Chakraborty's judicial custody extended till October 6

Actor Rhea Chakraborty who was in judicial custody till 21 September will be in jail till October 6. She and her brother Showik Chakraborty have requested bail from the Bombay High Court which will be heard tomorrow.

Rhea was arrested on September by the Narcotics Control Bureau on drug charges linked to the death of her former boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput. She has been accused of consuming and procuring drugs. Along with her brother, Sushant's house manager Samuel Miranda and two drug peddlers were also arrested by the NCB in the same light.

Rhea was arrested by the NCB on the basis of her three-day questioning earlier this month. The NCB has said that she is an "active member of a drug syndicate."

The 28-year-old actor and her kin are prime accused of Sushant's death. In a FIR filed by deceased actor's father KK Singh, Rhea along with her father and brother have been accused of abetment of suicide and money laundering.

The case which was primarily being inspected by Mumbai Police was transferred to CBI after constant appeals of late actor's family and fans. It was during CBI's investigation, alleged drug links popped out which forced NCB to take serious actions.

After numerous searches, the anti-drugs agency registered a second case which was based on 59 grams of weed found on drug dealers allegedly known to Sushant Rajput. According to the agency, their questioning led them to Rhea Chakraborty, her brother and Sushant's house manager Samuel Miranda.

Sushant Singh Rajput, a 34-year-old Bollywood star, was found dead at his Mumbai home on June 14. The prima facie of the death was declared to be suicide but many suspected foul play which led to nationwide unrest with many demanding justice for the young actor.
