Mumbai/IBNS: Actress Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik and Sushant Singh Rajput's house manager Samuel Miranda were arrested on Friday following the questioning by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with drug allegation probe surrounding the late actor's death in June.

Earlier in the day, the NCB took Showik for questioning in connection with the death case of Sushant.

The NCB had also conducted a raid at the residence of Rhea.

The bureau has drawn links between Rhea Chakraborty's brother, Showik, and alleged drug dealer Zaid Vilatra, who has been arrested, media reports said.

Another NCB team carried out a search in the residence of Sushant's aide Samuel Miranda on Friday morning.

Samuel has also been taken for questioning.

Sushant, who is widely known for portraying former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni onscreen, was found dead at his flat in Mumbai's Bandra.

Though the Mumbai Police were probing into the death case, Sushant's father KK Singh had filed a First Information Report (FIR) with the Bihar Police alleging that Rhea had siphoned Rs. 15 crore from the actor.

As now the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is probing into Sushant's death case, a WhatsApp conversation, where the late actor's girlfriend was allegedly seen talking about drugs, has surfaced.

The federal probe agency is investigating the drugs angle of the Sushant death case.
