I have interned at various places and I have earned remuneration for the same. I have played at district level for Ambala, Army Public School. I have also participated at Zonal level as an athlete.

On being asked about the nature of my relation with Sushant Singh Rajput, I answer that my sister, Rhea Chakraborty was in a relationship with Sushant since April, 2019 and they had been living together since December 2019 till June, 2020. As my sister was in a relationship with Sushant, so I also came in to good contacts of Sushant and he invited me to his house many times. As a gesture of courtesy, I visited to Shushant first time in April 2019. I must say, Sushant, as a person, was very welcoming and friendly. So, I had developed good bonding with Sushant.

I would like to say that when I started visiting Sushant I came to know he is smoking buds and weeds and same was later confirmed by his friends Siddharth Pithani aka Buddha and Samuel Haokip. Further, on being asked whether I have arranged any narcotic drugs for Sushant Singh Rajput or Rhea Chakraborty or anyone else, I state that I have arranged manicured marijuana and hashish for Sushant Singh Rajput. I also state that even though I arranged the drugs for Sushant many times, I remember the recent instances where I arranged drugs for him through my friends.

On being asked to elaborate on these occasions, I disclose the following facts: On 16/03/2020, in the context of a pervious conversation that I had with Sushant Singh Rajput at his home in Bandra I spoke to my sister Rhea Chakraborty and told her about requirement of weed (marijuana) and hash (hashish) requested by Sushant Singh Rajput. Through WhatsApp chat, my sister told me that Sushant is taking marijuana at least 4- 5 times a day and based on this I told her that I will arrange 5 grams of Bud (curated marijuana) which was enough for smoking 20 times. Then I contacted Abdel Basit Parihar, a friend of mine, for sourcing this quality of Bud and shared the rates of Bud with Rhea and Samuel as Samuel Miranda used to be the house manager of Sushant then.

He handled everything that happened in the house of Sushant. Then, I shared Samuel’s contact number with Abdel Basit Parihar. As per my knowledge, I could say that Basit shared contact number of Samuel with another friend Zaid and Zaid delivered that drug to Samuel near Eat around Corner in Bandra area at about 05 PM on 17.03.2020.

One more instance I could remember that on 15.04.2020, Samuel Miranda contacted me over WhatsApp and asked for supply of drugs for Shushant Singh Rajput and for this I remember Dipesh Sawant also texted me. I also had a conversation with my sister Rhea in this regard. For providing drugs, I contacted Basit again and requested for curated marijuana but Basit told me he can provide hash through one of his friends as lockdown due to Covid-19 is going and supply is short. On my request, Basit provided drug to Dipesh through some guy called Kaizan later it was told to me by Basit.

After this I was shown a printout of my WhatsApp chats with Rhea, Samuel, Basit, Dipesh and the officer informed me that these chat transcripts were received from Enforcement Directorate by them from the extracted data of my phone.

I read the content of chat transcript and acknowledged that this exactly extracted from my phone
