Actor Rhea Chakraborty's father Lt Col (retired) Indrajit Chakraborty on Saturday broke his silence over his son Showik’s arrest and said that a middle-class family has been “demolished”.
"Congratulations, India. You’ve arrested my son, I'm sure my daughter is next on the line. You’ve effectively demolished a middle class family. Ofcourse, for the sake of Justice everything is justified. Jai Hind,” he said in a statement condemning the arrest of his 24-year-old son.
Indrajit Chakraborty has also been interrogated by the CBI for days in connection with the case.
Showik Chakraborty was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Friday in connection with probe into allegations of drug abuse linked to Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death.
He has been sent to NCB's custody till September 9 along with Rajput's house manager Samuel Miranda.
Both Showik and Miranda have been booked by the ED and the CBI under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act in Rajput's death case.
The sections pressed against them are sections 20(b) that deals with production, manufacture, possession, selling, purchase and transport of cannabis, 28 (punishment for attempt to commit offences), 29 (punishment for abetment and criminal conspiracy) and 27(a) that defines punishment for financing illicit traffic and harbouring offenders, a senior NCB officer said.
