Major relief for Rhea Chakraborty in the Sushant Singh Rajput case as Bombay High Court directs NCB to return her passport

Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14, 2020. The cause of death was revealed to be death by suicide. After constant debates and discussions on social media, the case was transferred from Mumbai Police to the CBI. The agency has submitted the report after a long wait with no foul play suspected.

A Mumbai court had issued a notice to Bollywood actor  Rhea Chakraborty, seeking her response to the closure report filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.

But there has been a major relief for the actress as the Bombay High Court has directed the Narcotics Control Bureau to return her passport. The actress was arrested in a drugs case five years back after the Dil Bechara star passed away. In her fresh application, the actress stated due to her passport being taken, she missed out on multiple professional opportunities.

While speaking to NDTV, the actress revealed, “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 added, “You realise everything – what you had, when you were thinking there was nothing. Because, vahan toh kuch bhi nahi milta hai. You can’t take your parents for granted as they keep asking you if you’ve had food. There’s no one to take care of you in jail. But, I missed my family the most.”
