Rhea Chakraborty can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the Narcotics Control Bureau or NCB said that they will not move the Supreme Court challenging her bail in the drug case related to actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. The actress after a long time returned to television with Roadies 19, and with this latest report, things are looking up for the actress, it seems, after the ordeal she went through following SSR‘s untimely demise.
Sushant passed away during the pandemic in 2020, bringing the Hindi film and television industry to a halt, and at the same time, Rhea’s world came crashing down with accusations of procuring drugs for the Dil Bechara actor.

As per the Hindustan Times report, NCB is not challenging the bail plea with additional solicitor General S V Raju telling the bench of Justices AS Bopanna and MM Sundresh about it, but the question of law should be kept open with regard to Section 27-A of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. ASG, in regard to Rhea Chakraborty’s case, told the bench, “We are not challenging the grant of bail but on the interpretation of the section, please keep it open for consideration. Let the order not be a precedent also.”

The bench said, “Having heard the ASG, at this stage, the challenge to the impugned order in so far as grant of bail may not be required. However, the question of law raised is left open to be considered in an appropriate case, and as such, the judgement may not be treated as precedent in any other case.”
Previously the high court had said, “The allegations against the applicant of spending money in procuring drugs for Sushant Singh Rajput will not, therefore, mean that she had financed illicit traffic.”
