Rhea Chakraborty was charged  for buying narcotics for her actor-boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput, who died in 2020, by the country's anti-drugs agency.

A chargesheet filed by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) named her and 34 others as accused in the high-profile case.

Ms Chakraborty, 30, has been charged with purchasing and financing a small quantity of marijuana. Her brother, Showik Chakraborty, has also been named as an accused.

The NCB has said she received and delivered marijuana to Sushant Singh. She also made payments for it at his instance, they said.

If convicted, Rhea Chakraborty could face over 10 years in jail.

The actor has called the allegations against her a "witch-hunt". In an interview with NDTV, she had admitted that Sushant Singh Rajput used to smoke marijuana, but denied that she used drugs or helped in procuring them.

"I tried to control him... I have never spoken to a (drug) dealer or taken drugs in my life. I am open to a blood test," she had told NDTV.
