Showik Chakraborty was arrested on September 4, along with Mr Rajput's house manager Samuel Miranda, after being questioned by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), which is probing allegations of drug abuse surrounding Mr Rajput's death in June. They were charged under multiple sections of the anti-narcotics law.  The Mumbai court cited a recent Supreme Court judgment which said that statements or confessions before an NCB officer is not admissible evidence. Mr Chakraborty had approached the court for bail in the first week f November.  In October, Mr Chakraborty was denied bail Bombay High Court when his sister was given bail. The court had said there is enough evidence to show that he is part of a chain of drug dealers engaged in the trafficking of banned substances.
