Deepesh has demanded compensation of Rs 10 lakh from NCB through this petition. Deepesh alleges that the NCB had detained him in an unlawful manner in a drug case. This petition was filed on 5 October.

The Bombay High Court heard the petition of Deepesh Sawant on Monday and postponed it till 6 November. A bench of Judge SS Shinde and Justice AMS Karnik will hear this petition. Deepesh Sawant was granted bail by the Bombay High Court from the judicial custody of NCB.

In the petition, Deepesh Sawant has claimed that he was produced before the magistrate after more than 36 hours. This is a direct violation of the Supreme Court guidelines.

All these agencies are investigating from different angles in the Sushant Singh Rajput case. The NCB is investigating the drugs case in which the NCB arrested Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and his brother Shouvik Chakraborty, Deepesh Sawant, who works in Sushant’s house. All these are accused of supplying drugs to Sushant.
