Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his apartment on the 14th of June, 2020. The CBI is probing his case and later the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and NCB also performed separate investigations in the case. Many others, including Showik Chakraborty, Rhea Chakraborty, Sushant’s then girlfriend were accused of consuming, possessing and financing drugs and most of them are out on bail. Rhea was taken in for investigation in September 2020 and was out on bail.

The prosecution proposes that Rhea and Showik be charged for consuming and procuring and paying for drugs for Sushant. The court was scheduled to charge all accused but since some of them moved discharge applications, it couldn’t be done. The court says that the charges will be framed only after the discharge pleas are decided.

Rhea and the other accused were present before the court on Wednesday. On the second anniversary of the late actor’s death, Rhea had also posted some unseen pictures of them together and wrote a caption expressing how much she missed him.
