On Sunday, the court had rejected the request of NCB to allow Harsh Limbachiya’s custodial interrogation and sent them to judicial custody.
As per the report, they had applied for bail, however, the judge could not have taken up their request as the NCB officer concerned and the public prosecutor absented themselves.
The NCB alleged that Bharti Singh had confessed to smoking cannabis purchased by her husband.
The NCB has been probing alleged drug case in Bollywood following the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June on the basis of WhatsApp chats involving drugs.
NCB had, earlier, arrested actor Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik, some of Rajput’s staffers and a few others under various sections of the NDPS Act.
Chakraborty denied the allegations against her. She, along with some other accused, was released on bail after spending about a month in jail.
