NCB Trying To Frame Ranbir, Rampal, Morea: Kshitij Ravi Prasad

In his latest statement before the court, the accused said, “Subsequent to my earlier statement, I have been repeatedly harassed and coerced into falsely implicating Ranbir Kapoor, Dino Morea and Arjun Rampal in the present proceedings. “Despite me repeatedly stating that I don’t said persons…and have no knowledge of allegations against them (sic),” Prasad stated.

He stated since he refused to writesuch false (statement mentioning Kapoor, Morea and Rampal) in his own handwriting, “the complainant (NCB) has been preparing various false statements as per their wishes and trying to coerce me into signing them”. Prasad further stated he was being harassed “mentally, emotionally, and psychologically by the probe agency (sic)”.

Special public prosecutor Atul Sarpande told the court that Prasad’s allegations were completely baseless and false.”Neither had we taken these names nor the accused (Prasad) ever mentioned them (during his questioning). We have shown his statement to the court,” he said.

According to the NCB, Prasad had procured drugs from another accused Karmjeet and his associates. The agency had earlier arrested actor and late Rajput’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik and others in connection with the Bollywood-drugs probe.
