The court rejected the request of ASG Anil Singh, who was representing the NCB, for a stay on the order.

On 6 October, a Mumbai court extended the judicial custody of actress  Chakraborty  and Showik till 20 October. The special court had  earlier rejected the bail pleas  of the actress and her brother. They then moved Bombay High Court to seek bail.
