Rhea Chakraborty's Bank Accounts Unfrozen, Laptop And Mobile Returned

However, the actress cannot discard or sell the phone and the laptop till the investigation is over.

A special anti-drugs court has ordered the unfreezing of actress Rhea Chakraborty's bank accounts after almost 14 months. The court has also permitted the return of her laptop and mobile phone. The actress had filed a please in the special court requesting access to her bank accounts and electronic gadgets. She must furnish an indemnity bond of Rs 1 lakh for the return of her laptop and mobile phone. She cannot discard or sell the phone and the laptop till the investigation is over, the court ordered.

Ms Chakraborty and her brother were among over two dozen people arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on September 8 last year over allegations of arranging drugs for Sushant Singh Rajput, a 34-year-old movie star who was found dead in his Mumbai home on June 14. Her bank accounts were frozen a few days later.

Advocate Nikhil Maneshinde, appearing for the actress, argued the matter would take time for disposal and it was not necessary to freeze the bank accounts.

Special public prosecutor Atul Sarpande, representing the anti-drugs agency, said the financial investigation in the case was going on and the investigation could be hampered if the accounts were unfrozen.
