Dharma Productions ex-executive Kshitij Ravi Prasad retracts confessional statement

Mumbai, Oct 3 (UNI) Former executive of Dharma Productions Kshitij Ravi Prasad, arrested in connection with the drugs probe in Bollywood, on Saturday retracted his confessional statement recorded by NCB, claiming the same was recorded "under duress".
When produced before Special Judge Gaurav, Prasad, in an application moved by his lawyer Satish Maneshinde, said he had retracted his earlier statement given to the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), allegedly under duress.

He claimed that NCB sleuths allegedly said they would let him off, if he would falsely implicate (filmmaker) Karan Johar, Somen Mishra, Rakhi, Apoorva, Niraj or Rahil, but he (Prasad) refused.
''That subsequent to the 27th of September 2020, I have been repeatedly harassed and coerced into falsely implicating Dino Morea, Arjun Rampal and Ranbir Kapoor in the present proceedings, despite me repeatedly stating that I do not know the said persons and have no knowledge of such allegations,'' Prasad said in a handwritten addition to the statement.
He contended that since he had refused to oblige, the NCB sleuths allegedly prepared the statements as per their wishes and forced him to sign them, and even threatened to implicate his wife and family in the case.

''I say that in this manner, I am being mentally, emotionally and psychologically harassed and abused by the (NCB) into making false statements,'' he claimed.
The special court today extended his judicial custody till October 6.
