A while back, it was reported that Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa’s bail plea hearing would be deferred. Special public prosecutor Atul Sarpande told ANI, “We had sought two days custody to understand how they purchased the drugs and how payments were made to the peddler, but the court refused it.” He added, “As I am busy with other cases today, we will request for some other date of argument.”

Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiya have been booked under sections 20(b)(ii)(A) (involves a small quantity of drugs) and 8(c) (possession of drugs) and 27 (consumption of drugs) of the NDPS Act. As reported by The Indian Express, the NCB had told the Esplanade court that Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa confessed to consuming ganja.

Bharti reportedly told the agency that she would smoke weed procured by her husband. Harsh allegedly told them that he purchased ganja from one peddler, adding that he would keep one bag of the contraband at his office and another at his house for consumption.

During the raid conducted at Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa’s residence and offices, the NCB recovered 65 gram of ganja from Limbachiyaa’s production house in Versova. During a search at his home at Oberoi Springs in Andheri, another bag consisting 21.5 gram of cannabis was seized.
