We still have not decided on the names of Bollywood celebrities. Earlier on 12 th September morning NCB had raided seven locations across Mumbai and Goa in connection with this case. NCB will make more arrests soon. Rhea was arrested by the NCB after three consecutive days of interrogation. Her brother Showik, and two staff members of Sushant have also been arrested.
A Mumbai court denied bail to Rhea, her brother and four other accused in the case. All of them will
now remain in jail until 22nd September. Rhea is in the Byculla Women’s Prison facility. As per reports, Rhea is in a separate cell. She does not have a fan, bed or pillow to sleep on. She only has a mat to sleep on. A table fan may be given to her if allowed by the court. Rhea is guarded by two constables in three shifts. All prisoners in the jail are given turmeric milk for immunity to protect against the COVID-19. She will again apply for bail in the Mumbai High Court this week.
