Rhea Chakraborty’s Bank Accounts Defrozen by Court

A Mumbai special court has finally allowed Rhea Chakraborty and her family to access their previously frozen bank accounts.

This significant decision comes years after the accounts were blocked during the investigation into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput.

The Narcotics Control Bureau had frozen these financial assets in 2020 during their initial probe.

At that time, the agency was investigating allegations of a wider drug network linked to many prominent Bollywood personalities.

The court found that the agency failed to comply with Section 68F of the NDPS Act within time limits. The judge stated:

“Section 68F deals with the confirmation of orders to freeze bank accounts and related assets.”

The judge held that the failure to follow the law meant the freezing could not legally remain in force.

Because of this technical lapse, the court granted the request to defreeze the four remaining bank accounts this week.

Defence lawyers argued that the delay in following the steps had kept the accounts frozen for a very long period.

They stated that the narcotics agency had not completed the necessary confirmation process under the current drug control laws.

This development marks a major milestone in the legal fallout from the case involving the late movie star.

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai home in June 2020, leading to a massive national probe.

The Central Bureau of Investigation eventually treated the high-profile death of the young actor as a suicide case.

The central agency closed its investigation in 2025, while providing a clean chit to all the accused.

Their final report stated that there was no evidence to support any claims of abetment to suicide or misconduct.

While some accounts were partially unfrozen before, this latest order covers the final four accounts still under the freeze.

The court has not yet delivered a final verdict on the criminal drug charges that are still pending.

Rhea Chakraborty and her family members have faced intense public and legal scrutiny throughout this very long judicial journey.

The legal proceedings spanned over several years and involved multiple central agencies investigating different parts of the case.

The actor’s legal team has consistently challenged the validity of the freezing orders throughout the entire duration of the battle.

The CBI previously confirmed that no financial misconduct was found during their extensive investigation into the actor’s private banking.
