MUMBAI: There is an alleged drug case filed against Bharati Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa. The couple were granted bail on September 23. However, NCB believes that the magistrate court sent a ‘dangerous signal’ to society by making this decision.

In November 2020, the Narcotics Control Bureau raided the house of the comedian over allegations of possession and use of marijuana. According to a previous statement by the NCB, Bharati reportedly admitted that she uses the narcotic substances. Just a day after the actress' arrest, Haarsh was booked by the drug control agency for further questioning. 

At the time, the celebrity couple’s house was searched by the anti-drug bureau. Several media reports suggested that a small quantity of cannabis (86.5 grams) was procured from their apartment. Now, according to India Today, as Bharati Singh and Haarsh received bail, the NCB said that the magistrate court has sent a ‘dangerous signal’ to the society. As per the portal, the agency told the sessions court on Thursday that the decision indicates how “high profile offenders can be spared easily at the cost of divine establishment principles, without hearing the prosecution side.This will create an anarchic situation in society. Such orders will prompt the peddlers to attack NCB with more vigour.”
