Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s hotelier mate Kunal Jani, was apprehended in Mumbai; a court denied his bail plea. According to reports, Jani was escaping for a long time and was apprehended eventually on 30 September. On Tuesday, Jani had filed for a bail application, which was refused by Mumbai’s Esplanade Court.

ANI tweeted the development stating that “Mumbai’s Esplanade Court rejects bail plea of hotelier Kunal Jani (in a file photo) in connection with drugs cases related to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.” Jani was caught in connection to the drugs case that surfaced the previous year after the decease of a Bollywood actor.

Arjun Rampal’s brother Agisilaos Demetriades was captured by the NCB earlier for running a drug syndicate. NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede had quoted, “Kunal Jani is being investigated regarding his links with drug peddlers and the drug syndicate that was busted by NCB last year.” Sushant was found hanging from his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020. Many people, including Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, were seized the previous year to probe the drugs angle in the actor’s demise case.
