With the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) tightening its grip on the Bollywood Drug Nexus, the investigating agency continues to interrogate suspected ‘kingpin’ Jaya Saha for the third day in a row. According to sources, Jaya Saha has been interrogated with electronic evidence including her messages and call data records. Sources have reported that she has not given adequate answers during questioning and has mostly remained silent.
The anti-drug agency has corroborated the electronic evidence before it, a kind of exercise the NCB does before providing details to the court, the sources added.
