Court may pass order on bail pleas of Rhea and Showik on Friday.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Shibani wrote, "In response to the grotesque letter posted by Ankita Lokhande last night. This princess of patriarchy has clearly never dealt with her own relationship issues with Sushant! she obviously wants her two seconds of fame and has got it by targeting Rhea and playing a major role in this witch-hunt! Rather than recognising this system of patriarchy, Women like Ankita have jumped on the bandwagon and used it to advance their own agenda destroying centuries of work what you need to accept Ankita is this.. Sushant loved Rhea. Period. Before you write a letter to your haters, please note that no one has more hate in their heart than you."
Shibani Dandekar has shared her response on Ankita Lokhande's letter to her "haters", in which she launched a veiled attack on Rhea Chakraborty. Calling Ankita "princess of patriarchy", Shibani said that the letter was grotesque.
Sushant's sister Shweta shares a heartwarming video of the "beautiful caring heart".
"There was not a single lady officer who interrogated the present applicant as mandated by law. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Sheela Barse VS State Maharashtra, has held that the interrogation of females should be carried out only in the presence of a female police officer/constable," reads the bail application, highlighting that the NCB did not follow the guidelines of the Supreme Court.
In the fresh petition, filed by Rhea's lawyer Satish Maneshinde, the actress has claimed that she has not committed any crime.
"She has not committed any crime whatsoever and has been falsely implicated in the case," said the plea. It further claimed that Rhea "was coerced into making self-incriminatory confessions and by her application, on September 8 the applicant has formally retracted all such incriminatory confessions."
Actress Ankita Lokhande has penned a lengthy note on Instagram explaining her stand on actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death case and on her posts on 'karma', which she shared after Rhea Chakraborty was arrested. She also shared a message for 'haters' and the entire drug conspiracy row in connection with Sushant, Rhea and his death.
Various angles surrounding Sushant's death are being probed by the NCB, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Of Rhea's alleged involvement in the case, the NCB told the court that the actress was confronted with all other accused, including Showik Chakraborty, during her interrogation and facts in their statements were verified. The agency claimed that she disclosed her involvement in the procurement of drugs for Sushant and related financial transactions and also her instructions to co-accused Samuel Miranda, Dipesh Sawant and Showik Chakraborty.
Meanwhile, Showik was arrested by the NCB last week. He was sent in 14-day judicial custody by the sessions court. Apart from Showik, Sushant's house manager Samuel Miranda and his personal staff member Dipesh Sawant was also arrested.
On Wednesday morning, she was shifted to Byculla Jail in Mumbai.
This is Rhea's second attempt to seek release after a magistrate court on Tuesday refused to grant her bail. She was arrested on Tuesday afternoon and produced before a magistrate via video conferencing on the same day. She was sent in judicial custody till September 22 by the local court.
New Delhi: The bail applications of Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik Chakraborty, arrested in a drug case linked with actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death, will be heard today. Rhea has been charged under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act for her alleged role in the drugs angle that emerged during the investigation into the death of Sushant.
She was arrested on Tuesday after a three-day rigorous interrogation session by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) while her brother Showik was taken into custody last week along with two of Sushant's close aides.
Rhea Chakraborty has submitted a bail application in a local court claiming that she is being falsely implicated in the case.
The NCB launched an investigation after it received official communication from Enforcement Directorate (ED), in which there were various chats related to drug consumption, procurement, usage and transportation in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput case.
