A special court here on Tuesday extended till October 6 the judicial custody of actor Rhea Chakraborty, who was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) probing the drug angle in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case.
Ms. Chakraborty was produced before special judge G.B. Gurao who extended her judicial custody, said special public prosecutor Atul Sarpande.
Other accused arrested in the case will be produced in court on Wednesday, he said.
The special court on September 11 rejected bail pleas of Ms. Chakraborty, her brother Showik, and others in the case, noting that there was no “reasonable ground” at present for not connecting the accused with the crime.
