The application also stated that no drugs or psychotropic substances have been seized from the Rhea, and "the allegations, if any, would pertain strictly to small quantities", thus the offence is bailable in nature. "The allegations against the present applicant would at the most make out a case of purchasing small quantities of drugs which is in essence a bailable offense. There is not a shred of evidence to connect the applicant with financing any illicit traffic or harbouring any offenders," the application read.

"I don't think Ankita has said anything wrong …she was with Sushant for more than 7 years…if anyone has the right to speak about this case it's her and Sushant's family members…and she never spoke against Rhea, infact Rhea started targeting her in all her paid PR interviews…someone needs to check the facts before demeaning Ankita," Kushal wrote on his Instagram Stories.

Rhea Chakraborty's lawyer Satish Maneshinde claims that the actress should be given bail as no narcotics substance was found on the actress or during her house search. He also claims that Rhea has cooperated with the investigation throughout and will continue to do so. The lawyer further says that Rhea had been procuring drugs for Sushant Singh Rajput because he was an addict.

On the other hand, NCB has claimed that they are yet to interrogate Rhea's tablet which is why they need her to be in custody so that she doesn't hamper the evidence or act as a hurdle in the investigation.
