In the past few days, NCB had also arrested drug suppliers, Rigel Mahakal and others in connection with a drugs case related to actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.

NCB’s drug probe in Bollywood intensified after the death of Sushant. In the last few months, several Bollywood A-listers have been interrogated by the anti-drug agency. Recently comedian Bharti Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa were even arrested.

Meanwhile, Rhea Chakraborty’s brother Showik got bail in the drugs case after spending almost three months in jail.
