A special NDPS court has denied bail to Siddharth Pithani, Sushant Singh Rajput's flatmate, in a drugs case linked to the Bollywood actor's death in June 2020.

Pithani was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on May 28 this year from Hyderabad and he is currently in judicial custody. He has been booked under section 27 (A) (financing illicit traffic and harbouring offenders) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, among other charges.
