After spending almost a month in custody, actor Rhea Chakraborty was granted bail by the Bombay High Court on Wednesday (October 7) and she was released from Byculla jail in the evening. She was accompanied by her mother and father while they drove out of the area. Hours after she was granted bail, Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty walked out of the Byculla jail, having spent 28 days in custody since her arrest on September 8. In full media glare with tight police security, she quickly stepped into a vehicle and was driven off to her home in Santacruz in the western suburbs.
Earlier this morning, Justice S. V. Kotwal of Bombay High Court granted her conditional bail on a surety of Rs one lakh, along with late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s staffer Dipesh Sawant and his house manager Samuel Miranda. However, her brother Showik Chakraborty and drug peddler Abdul Basit Parihar were refused bail. Welcoming the court order, her lawyer Satish Maneshinde said, “truth and justice have prevailed” and ultimately the submissions on facts and law have been accepted by Justice Kotwal.
