We loved the idea of loving Sushant Singh Rajput so much that we victimised #RheaChakraborty and #ShowikChakraborty unapologetically and mercilessly.

Courts says !! trading of drugs charges does not apply against Showik Chakraborty#TrustingCBI4SSRJustice
While granting him bail on Dec 2, the special NDPS court judge G B Gurao observed that the ingredient of Section 27-A of the NDPS Act does not apply to Showik's case.
"Further, the court has to see that there are reasonable grounds for believing that accused is not guilty. As discussed above, the ingredient of Section 27 is absent in the case of applicant (Showik)," the court said.
Showik was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) under stringent provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, including Section 27-A, which deals with financing illicit traffic of drugs and harbouring offenders. A person can be punished for 10 to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment under the act.
