New Delhi: The Bombay High Court on Wednesday (October 7) granted bail to Rhea Chakraborty in drugs related case linked to Sushant Singh Rajput's death case. The 'Jalebi' actress came out of Mumbai's Byculla Jail after spending 28 days in custody. Rhea's lawyer Satish Maneshinde, while talking to NDTV, revealed how the actress spent her days in jail. He said that Rhea conducted Yoga sessions for other inmates and adjusted herself accordingly as she couldn't get home-made food due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He added that Chakraborty lived like a commoner and tried to stay positive during her time at Byculla jail. Satish Maneshinde further said that Rhea is ready to face anybody who is 'trying to accuse her'. He called the actress 'Bengali Tigress' and said that he went to the prison to see how she was doing. “I personally went to a jail to see a client after so many years, because she was hounded, and I wanted to see the condition that she was in. I was fortunate to see that she was in good spirits. She looked after herself in the jail. She used to conduct yoga classes for herself and her jail inmates. She adjusted herself in the jail, because she could not get home food because of the pandemic, and she lived with the inmates as if she was a commoner," Maneshinde told the news channel. Rhea's lawyer also said that she was hounded because Sushant Singh Rajput's family was after her. " I don’t know for what reason, the family seems to be very vindictive as far as Rhea Chakraborty is concerned," he added. The Bombay HC granted bail to Rhea on personal bond of Rs 1 lakh. She has been directed to surrender her passport, not leave Greater Mumbai without informing the NCB and report to the police station for ten days after release. The 'Chehre' actress was snapped at the Santra Cruz Police station on Thursday (October 8). She has to follow this protocol for the remaining 9 days. On a related note, the HC rejected the bail pleas of Rhea's brother Showik Chakraborty and drug peddler Abdul Basit Parihar. The Narcotics Control Bureau had arrested Rhea and Showik under various sections of the NDPS Act last month. Several Bollywood celebs including Taapsee Pannu, Farhan Akhtar, Swara Bhaskar, Huma Qureshi have expressed their happiness after Rhea was granted bail in drugs case.
