On July 12, 2022, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) produced a draft of the charges filed against the accused in the drug case linked to actor, Sushant Singh Rajput's death. The draft claimed that Rhea Chakraborty had received multiple deliveries of ganja from the other accused people, including her brother, Showik, and she had later handed it over to Sushant. It added that all the accused had conspired with each other and were in contact with drug peddlers to procure, buy, sell and distribute drugs in high-end societies and Bollywood.
The draft also stated that all the accused had financed drug trafficking and also consumed narcotics and psychotropic substances like ganja, charas, cocaine etc., without a valid licence or authorisation. Therefore, Rhea Chakraborty, her brother, Showik and others have been charged under the provisions of the NDPS Act, including sections 27 and 27A (financing illicit traffic and harbouring offenders), 28 (punishment for attempts to commit offences), and 29 (whoever abets, or is a party to a criminal conspiracy). The draft charges can be read as:
“Rhea Chakroborty received many deliveries of ganja from accused Samuel Miranda, Showik, Dipesh Sawant and others and handed over those deliveries to the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
