Rhea Claimed She Procured Drugs for SSR

Mumbai: Rhea Chakraborty yesterday reportedly informed the Narcotics Control Bureau that late Sushant Singh Rajput was “habitual” in using marijuana, an NCB source indicated to media, adding that the actress was co-operating in the investigation but was “evasive” in some instances. She also reportedly admitted to having procured drugs through Dipesh Sawant but said it was for Sushant and his friends.

Rhea appeared before the NCB for questioning for the second straight day on Monday in the drugs case linked to the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. She was questioned for about six hours by the agency for the first time in this case on Sunday.

The NCB said that once Rhea deposes, it wants to confront her with her younger brother Showik Chakraborty (24), Rajput’s house manager Samuel Miranda (33) and his house staffer Dipesh Sawant to ascertain their roles in this alleged drug racket after it obtained mobile phone chat records and other electronic data that suggested some banned drugs were allegedly procured by these people. The NCB, over the last two days, has arrested these three men in this case.
