Stand-up comedian Bharti Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa recently received relief after a special court rejected their bail-cancellation plea by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in a drug case.
Both Bharti and Haarsh were arrested by the NCB after 86.5 grams of cannabis (ganja) were found in their home. However, the following day, they were granted bail by the magistrate's court on a bond of Rs 15,000 each. The decision was later challenged by the NCB.
Now, as per PTI, coming as a big relief for the star couple, the court, in its last-week order, quashed the allegation that Bharti and
Haarsh interfered with the administration or violated the bail conditions. Other than this, the judge further said that there were absolutely no grounds made for cancellation of bail.
"Therefore, it is not the case that the prosecution was not given the opportunity to oppose the application but it is a fault on the part of the prosecution that they did not avail the opportunity to file reply…” said the special court.
As per the investigation, the comedian actress's name cropped up during the interrogation of a drug peddler when the NCB was probing the death of Sushant Singh Rajput in June 2020.
