The names will be properly investigated and only after getting evidence will they summon these people.Today a special court in Mumbai today denied bail to Rhea Chakraborty and others in the drug case. The magistrate court had earlier rejected her bail plea and granted the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), 14-days of judicial custody. Her bail was reportedly rejected on the rounds that she might influence others and tamper evidence. The accused might now approach the High Court. The NCB has arrested the ‘Jalebi’ actress under sections 8(c), 20(b), 27(a), 28, and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS). On Day 3 of her interrogation by the NCB, Rhea Chakraborty admitted that she was consuming not just marijuana, but also hard drugs.
