Comedian Bharti Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa, who were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) following the recovery of ganja (cannabis) from their residence and office in Andheri in Maharashtra, have been granted bail in the drug case.

Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa were produced before a magistrates court on Sunday by the NCB after which, they were sent to judicial custody till December 4. While Bharti Singh was taken to Kalyan jail, Haarsh Limbachiyaa was sent to Taloja prison.

The couple filed bail pleas through advocate Ayaz Khan soon after being remanded to judicial custody, saying they do not have any criminal antecedents and hence there is no question of them absconding. Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa were granted bail today.

Acting on a tip-off, the NCB had searched Bharti Singh’s house at Lokhandwala Complex and office on Saturday morning as part of its probe into alleged drug use in the entertainment industry and seized 86.5 gms of cannabis from both places. Bharti Singh's name had cropped up during the interrogation of a drug peddler.
