The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has filed a 200-page charge sheet against stand-up comedian Bharti Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa in a case for drug consumption that was registered two years ago. The charge sheet has been filed before the Esplanade Magistrate court though the court is yet to take cognizance of it.
Haarsh and Bharti were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in November, 2020 after the seizure of ganja (cannabis) from their house in suburban Andheri. NCB had said that 86.5 grams of cannabis was recovered from their house in a raid.
