Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty on Sunday appeared before the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for questioning in the case in which her brother Showik, along with seven others, have been arrested for offences related to cannabis.
The 28-year-old arrived at the agency’s office in the Ballard Estate area in Mumbai this afternoon. Rhea was allowed to leave the NCB office after a grueling six-hour-long session of investigation.
She is likely to be summoned again on Monday as the NCB continues its investigations in the drugs angle emerging in the Sushant Singh Rajput case.
The NCB has, over the last two days, arrested Rhea’s brother Showik, Rajput’s house manager Samuel Miranda and his house staffer Dipesh Sawant in order to investigate their roles in the alleged drug racket.
As per preliminary information, Rhea was mostly questioned by the NCB sleuths on the narcotics angle now shrouding Sushant’s death.
Earlier on Sunday, an NCB team including Sameer Wankhede, who is heading the investigation, and a woman official had gone to pick up Rhea at her home in PrimRose Apartments in Santacruz but she opted to go in her own car along with a Mumbai Police escort, amid speculation that she would be arrested.
