Mumbai Sessions Court on Wednesday permitted actor Rhea Chakraborty — an accused in a drugs case related to actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death — to travel to Abu Dhabi for four days to attend the IIFA Awards 2022. But, Chakraborty told the court on Thursday that she will not travel as planned, as she has a lookout notice issued against her by an investigating agency.

On Wednesday, the court issued an order to hand over Chakraborty’s passport to her and permitted her to travel to Abu Dhabi from June 2 to 5. This came after her lawyer appealed to the court that the actor had to go to Abu Dhabi for the awards ceremony, for which she should be given her passport. The court accepted the application and ordered that her passport be handed over.

On Thursday, Chakraborty told the court that she will not travel abroad for the show. She said she was unaware that a lookout notice had been issued against her, at the time of filing the earlier application, reports India Today. The court then passed an order stating her passport should not be returned.

The actor was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in September 2020 in the drugs case and her passport was deposited then.
