Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has opposed the bail application filed by Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik Chakraborty, who was arrested in a drug case linked with Sushant Singh Rajput's death case and stated that he is an active member of drug syndicate connected with drug supplies.

While opposing the bail to Showik, NCB said that if released on bail he may temper with the evidence and also will try to win the witness by using her (Rhea) position in the society and money power.

"Accused Rhea Chakraborty has acknowledged their statements and her role explained. During statement present accused Rhea Chakraborty revealed about her involvement in procurement of drug and financial transaction and also her instructions to Samuel Miranda, Dipesh Sawant and applicant Showik Chakraborty in this regard. Therefore it is clear from statement that applicant is an active member of drug syndicate connected with drug supplies," read the NCB's reply in the Special Sessions Court at Mumbai.

According to NCB's reply, as per the statement of Showik he was making payment for the drugs which are taken delivery by Samuel Mirinda and Dipesh Sawant for handing over those drugs to Rajput.
