According to a report by Mumbai Mirror, Showik has apparently told the NCB that Rhea’s credit card was used just once to pay for the drugs or contraband meant for Sushant. He also revealed that all the other payments of the drugs were done by Sushant’s house manager, Samuel Miranda.

According to the copy of Showik’s statement obtained by India Today, he said that he got to know from his sister Rhea that Sushant took marijuana. “Through WhatsApp chat, my sister told me that Sushant is taking marijuana at least four-five times a day. Based on this, I told her that I would arrange five grams of bud (curated marijuana). Then I contacted Abdel Basit Parihar, a friend of mine, to source bud and shared the rates of bud with Rhea and Samuel Miranda, as he used to be the house manager of Sushant then,” Showik told in his statement to the NCB.
