Rhea Chakraborty Gets Big Relief In Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case, NCB To Return Passport

Rhea Chakraborty has received major relief from the Bombay High Court. The court has directed the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) to return the actress’s passport, permanently relaxing her bail conditions

imposed during the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. Earlier, after the death of the late actor, Rhea was arrested and granted bail the following month, with the condition to deposit her passport with the NCB.

As per India Today, in her fresh application filed through advocate Ayaz Khan, the actress urged to get relief from the condition, as it caused her to lose opportunities overseas. Meanwhile, an NCB representative, advocate SK Halwasia, opposed her request, stating that she should be treated as any other common person. The NCB representative also urged that she should not get any ease just because of her celebrity status.

“There is no reason to doubt her availability for the trial’s conclusion,” Justice Gokhale said while granting her relaxation, noting that other accused in the same case had received similar relief. The court highlighted that Chakraborty had consistently returned from approved trips, participated in trial proceedings, and fully cooperated with the investigation.

The actress recently opened up at an NDTV event about the life-altering ordeal of the 2020 Sushant Singh Rajput death case. “People said he did not go because of you. I always knew I hadn’t done anything. But even when the clean chit came, I couldn’t feel happy. I was only happy for my parents and their reputation. But we were no longer the same carefree family; it can’t come back. That moment altered all of us completely, for our entire life,” she said.

About the Sushant Singh Rajput Case

In June 2020, actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence, sparking a high-profile investigation that drew national attention. Initially treated as an accidental death, the case quickly attracted intense media scrutiny and public debate. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) later took over the probe to determine the exact circumstances surrounding his death. After months of investigation, the CBI concluded that there was no evidence implicating Rhea Chakraborty or others close to him in his death, giving her a clean chit and closing the chapter on allegations against her.
