Bombay HC grants major relief to Rhea Chakraborty in Sushant Singh Rajput death case

Rhea Chakraborty has received significant relief from the Bombay High Court, which directed the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) to return her passport and permanently relax the bail conditions imposed during the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. 

Following the late actor’s death, Rhea had been arrested and granted bail the following month, with the condition to deposit her passport with the NCB.

In her recent application, filed through advocate Ayaz Khan, Rhea requested the removal of this condition, citing lost opportunities overseas, reported India Today.

While NCB advocate SK Halwasia opposed the request, arguing she should be treated like any other citizen and not receive special treatment due to her celebrity status, Justice Gokhale granted the relief.

The court noted that Rhea had consistently participated in trial proceedings, returned from approved trips, and fully cooperated with the investigation, adding, “There is no reason to doubt her availability for the trial’s conclusion.”

Rhea Opens Up About the Ordeal

At a recent NDTV event, Rhea spoke candidly about the personal impact of the 2020 case. She shared, “People said he did not go because of you. I always knew I hadn’t done anything. But even when the clean chit came, I couldn’t feel happy. I was only happy for my parents and their reputation. But we were no longer the same carefree family; it can’t come back. That moment altered all of us completely, for our entire life.”

About the Sushant Singh Rajput Case

Actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence in June 2020, initially treated as an accidental death. The high-profile case quickly drew intense media scrutiny and public debate. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) later took over to determine the exact circumstances surrounding his death. After months of investigation, the CBI concluded there was no evidence implicating Rhea Chakraborty or others close to him, giving her a clean chit and formally closing the chapter on allegations against her.
