Bollywood actress Riya Chakraborty has recently regained her passport after a lengthy five-year wait. Her passport was confiscated back in 2020 amid allegations related to the high-profile drug case involving the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Following the return of her passport, Riya took to social media to express her feelings about this significant milestone.

Now, after a five-year hiatus, Riya Chakraborty has been reunited with her passport. On Tuesday, the Bombay High Court provided a significant relief to her in the ongoing drug case, ordering the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) to return her passport.
