Immediately after her arrest, Rhea was taken for medical tests including the COVID-19 test to the civic-run Sion hospital in Central Mumbai. At the hospital, her antigen test for COVID-19 came out negative. The actress was taken to the NCB office in South Mumbai and produced before a magistrate through video-conference. Rhea has been sent in judicial custody till September 22 by the local court. Her Bail plea was also rejected.
The NCB told the court that she was an ‘active member’ of a drugs syndicate and procured drugs for Rajput. The Agency added that it did not want her custody as it had already questioned her for three days. This apparently means that Rhea will be eligible for bail and so will her brother Showik.
