The Killa court on Monday granted bail to comedian Bharti Singh and her husband, Haarsh Limbachiyaa, who were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) probing an alleged drug syndicate in Bollywood. The NCB officers and public prosecutor did not appear before the court to oppose the bail application, the court noted.

Bharti Singh and her husband had applied for bail on Sunday after the court refused to grant their custody to NCB for further investigation as the case was of consumption only. The Killa court gave the NCB time to file a reply but no one from the agency was present. "The court has noted that time was given to the public prosecutor and the officers to reply but nobody appeared till 2 pm on Monday," said advocate Ayaz Khan, who appeared for Bharti and her husband.
