A special court on Wednesday rejected the bail application of Siddharth Pithani, the flatmate of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, arrested in May in an alleged drugs case. Pithani had filed for bail last month, stating that there was no evidence against him to show that he was involved in any drugs related offence. The NCB had claimed that the investigation against Pithani is yet to be completed and a chargesheet yet to be filed. Pithani was allowed an interim bail of 15 days for his wedding in June after which he had surrendered before the court. The NCB has chargesheeted 33 people, including actor Rhea Chakraborty, in the case.
