Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case has been making the headlines for a long time now. His death case investigation was earlier being investigated by the Mumbai Police but it was then taken over by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). When CBI came into action in SSR death case, a link of drugs popped up and NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) started investigating the drugs case related to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case.
NCB then made a number of arrests in the Sushant Singh Rajput drugs case including Rhea Chakraborty, Showik Chakraborty and others. The NCB also arrested the Kai Po Che! actor’s flatmate Siddharth Pithani last year and since then, the latter’s bail plea has been pending.
According to a report of ETimes, Siddharth Pithani’s lawyer Taraq Sayyed said, “We have applied for bail in January but the hearing is yet to come up in court.”
Siddharth Pithani was arrested by the investigating agency after they got details from his phone and WhatsApp chats which served as evidence that he had alleged connections with drug suppliers involved in the case.
Though Pithani applied for bail a number of times, it got denied every time. He was given special permission by the court to attend his wedding last year in the month of July. He tied the knot in Hyderabad and then surrendered himself a fortnight after his marriage.
Meanwhile, Sushant Singh Rajput was allegedly found hanging in his Bandra apartment on June 14, 2020, and since then, the investigation of his death case is underway.
