Sushant Singh Rajput drugs case: Court denies pre-arrest bail to Deepika Padukone's manager Karishma Prakash

Fearing arrest in the drug-related probe into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, Karishma Prakash had filed an anticipatory bail application before the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) court.

Mumbai: A special NDPS court here on Thursday rejected the pre-arrest bail plea of Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone's manager Karishma Prakash in a drug case linked to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Fearing arrest in the drug-related probe into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, Karishma Prakash had filed an anticipatory bail application before the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) court in October last year. After hearing extensive submissions made by both defence and prosecution, special judge VV Widwans rejected her plea for anticipatory bail. The court, however, stayed the order till August 25 to allow Prakash to approach the Bombay High court.
