Drug Probe
Deepika Padukone arrives for NCB questioning in drug probe
Mumbai/IBNS: Indian actor Deepika Padukone, who has come under the scanner of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with the probe into the drug angle related to Sushant Singh Rajput death case, arrived at a SIT guest house here on Saturday morning.
Padukone's manager Karishma Prakash has also been summoned.
Two other actors, Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor, will also reach the NCB office on Saturday for grilling over the case.
Meanwhile, actor Rakul Preet Singh was questioned by the probe agency a day ago.
The NCB has summoned all the four popular Bollywood actors after retrieving WhatsApp chats from the phone of Rajput's actor girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, who has been arrested on drug charges.
The NCB has so far arrested at least a dozen people including Chakraborty's 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).
It has 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.
