Mumbai, March 6: Terming the voluminous 12,000-page charge sheet filed against Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik Chakraborty and 31 others as "expected", their lawyer Satish Maneshinde launched a sharp attack on the Narcotics Control Bureau (Ncb), virtually accusing it of a witch-hunt, here on Saturday.
"All efforts of the Ncb have been directed towards Rhea Chakraborty, to somehow rope her in. The entire Ncb, from top to bottom was engaged in unearthing the drug angle in Bollywood," Maneshinde said.
"The charge sheet is a damp squib standing on the foundation of inadmissible evidence and statements recorded under Ndps Act Sec. 67 even after the Supreme Court judgement in the Toofan Singh case. Without Rhea Chakraborty being charged, this case has no substance," Maneshinde said.
Referring to the Ncb' contentions in the charge sheet that it has seized various narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances (Alprazolam and Clonazepam), the lawyer rubbished the federal drug agency's claims.
