As the drug investigation intensifies and the Office of Narcotics Control prepares to question Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh, it is now reported that more Bollywood and television celebrities are already under the scanner. .
According to Times Now, several actors and other members of the fraternity are being investigated to see if they have any connection to an alleged drug cartel. The NCB, which launched the investigation after a drug angle in connection with the alleged suicide of actor Sushant Singh Rajput came to light, has now expanded its investigation.
Security team outside Deepika Padukone’s home
Deepika, who returned from Goa on Thursday night with her husband Ranveer Singh, received security. Police personnel have been deployed outside her residence, PTI reported.
The NCB, which is investigating an alleged link between Bollywood drugs, has summoned Deepika to record her statement. A team from Dadar Police Station has been deployed outside ‘Beaumonde Towers’ in Prabhadevi, where the 34-year-old actor owns an apartment, as a precaution, the official said.
Earlier, the actor’s manager, Karishma Prakash, was summoned to join the investigation, but sought time due to health concerns and has been exempted from appearing until Friday, an official said Wednesday. Prakash’s WhatsApp chats included drug conversations with a “D,” NCB sources said, adding that the central agency wanted to know who this person was.
Dharma Executive Producer Rakul Preet to Appear Friday
On Friday, Dharma Productions executive producer Kshitj Raviprasad was also asked to appear before the NCB on Friday. Dharma Productions is owned by filmmaker Karan Johar. Actor Rakul Preet Singh will also appear before the investigative agency on Friday.
Television actors Sanam Johar and Abigail Pande have already been questioned twice by an NCB team. Fashion designer Simone Khambatta was questioned by the NCB in the same case.
The celebrity management company, Kwan CEO Dhruv Chitgopekar, and film producer Madhu Mantena also appeared before the NCB for questioning on the matter. Shruti Modi, the former business manager of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has been questioned by the NCB in the case in the past, as well as by Jaya Saha.
