Mumbai: A day after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested her, Rhea Chakraborty was on Wednesday shifted from the anti-drug agency's office in south Mumbai to the Byculla jail here.
Shortly after her arrest on Tuesday in drugs case linked to Sushant Singh Rajput's death, she was sent in judicial custody till September 22 by a local court.
The court had rejected her bail application. The NCB had told the court that she was an active member of a drugs syndicate and procured drugs for Rajput, her boyfriend.
The NCB, however, said it did not want her custody as it had already questioned her for three days.
Immediately after her arrest, Rhea was taken for medical tests including Covid-19 test. At the hospital, her antigen test for Covid-19 came out negative, officials said.
She was then taken to the NCB office in south Mumbai around 7.15 pm and produced before the court through video-conference.
