Drugs Probe
Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh summoned by NCB in drugs probe
Mumbai/IBNS: Four Indian actresses including Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone have been summoned by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with the probe into the drug angle related to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh have been asked to appear before the NCB within the next three days as the probe agency is widening its investigation into the alleged Bollywood-drug nexus.
Earlier Padukone's manager Karishma Prakash was issued a summon by the NCB on the basis of WhatsApp messages talking about drug procurement retrieved from the mobile phone Rajput's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, who has already been arrested on the same charge.
The NCB has so far arrested at least a dozen people including Chakraborty's brother Showik, the late actor'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).
The NCB got into action after the ED came across chats pertaining to drug consumption, procurement, usage and transportation in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.
Rajput was found dead at his own flat in Mumbai's Bandra on Jun 14.
