Drug Probe
Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan fly back to Mumbai, a day after NCB summon
Mumbai/IBNS: Deepika Padukone and Sara Ali Khan have flown back to Mumbai from Goa a day after they were summoned by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the widening drug probe related to the unnatural death of Sushant Singh Rajput, said media reports.
Two other actors Shraddha Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh have been also summoned and they, too, will be interrogated by the anti-drugs bureau, said an NDTV report.
Reports said Deepika Padukone has been summoned for questioning tomorrow and Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor will be questioned on Saturday.
Rakul Preet Singh, who was to be interrogated today in connection with the drug allegation today, will be questioned tomorrow.
The names of some of the leading stars of Bollywood have cropped up after a WhatsApp chat exposed the drug angle in the murder of 34-year-old actor Sushant Singh Rajput in Mumbai's Bandra on June 14 last.
The NCB has so far arrested at least a dozen people including Rajput's actor girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik, the late Bollywood star's household staff Samuel Miranda and Dipesh Sawant.
NCB is the third central agency to join the probe into the death of Rajput, after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
