He had been booked under Section 27-A (financing illicit traffic and harbouring offenders) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, among other charges.

Pithani had sought bail, claiming he was framed in a false case.

He had claimed in his plea that he was never found in possession of drugs and nothing that could suggest that he was involved in drug trafficking was recovered from him.

Rajput allegedly committed suicide at his Mumbai residence in June 2020.
