Meanwhile, Rhea Chakraborty and Showik have moved the Bombay High Court, seeking a bail. Their lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, said that the bail application will be heard tomorrow (September 23).
The Narcotics Control Bureau got involved in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case after Rhea Chakraborty’s WhatsApp chats with Jaya Saha were retrieved by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The ED, while probing the money-laundering angle in the case, accessed the chats in which there was a mention of drugs. The ED then asked the NCB to probe the drug angle in the case.
The NCB investigation has led to several arrests being made. Ten drug peddlers have also been arrested by the NCB who allegedly supplied drugs to various Bollywood celebrities.
Yesterday (September 21), the NCB had questioned Jaya Saha, Sushant Singh Rajput’s talent manager, about her involvement in supplying drugs to celebrities. Jaya Saha’s questioning will continue today. Sushant’s manager, Shruti Modi will also be questioned by the NCB today.
