yeah ... It is showing on many channels .. Now I am disappointed ..

They were saying the information they wanted, have got from rhea during 3 days of grilling ... so there is no need of remand ...😡

Hope its false ..

Aaj Tak is also saying NCB asked Rhea to either choose between two .. either consumption or peddling charges and later is more heavy ... so there she accepted consumption charges ..😡

I am thus confused whether the charges are for consumption or peddling? I hope it is later ...

She is booked under various sections of NDPS Act pertaining to consumption, peddling/distribution as well as criminal conspiracy..
