In 2023, the Bombay High Court had suspended a lookout circular issued against Chakraborty and allowed her to travel abroad. (File)Actor Rhea Chakraborty has been permitted by a special court to travel to Sri Lanka, Europe and Serbia to shoot a series. Chakraborty, who was booked in a drugs case after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has been permitted to travel on six occasions before and she has adhered by all the conditions, the court noted.
Chakraborty filed a plea stating directions that her passport be returned to her and that she be allowed to travel to the three places between June and September. It was submitted that the travel is for the purpose of shooting episodes in a project titled Stepsons. She sought her passport so that she could complete the visa process as well. While the Narcotics Control Bureau opposed her plea stating that the crime is serious, the court noted that she had travelled in the past and had on no occasion infringed on the conditions.
“Moreover, she is a resident of Mumbai, having deep roots in the society. Therefore, chances of absconding are lesser. Considering her request and keeping in mind her past behaviour, I am inclined to allow to travel abroad for the aforesaid period,” special judge C S Datir said in the order on May 29. The trial in the case is yet to begin.
In 2023, the Bombay High Court had suspended a lookout circular issued against Chakraborty and allowed her to travel abroad. The high court in 2024 quashed the circular. The circulars were in connection with another case filed by the CBI against Chakraborty and her parents and brother, in connection with Rajput’s death, alleging their role in its abetment. The CBI had in March filed a closure report, seeking to close that case stating that it was a simple case of suicide and there was no criminal offence by anyone named in the probe.
