In a massive development in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Friday raided Sushant’s house manager Samuel Miranda’s residence along with simultaneous raids at prime accused Rhea Chakraborty’s Juhu residence on Friday morning. NCB deputy director KPS Malhotra is also present at Rhea’s residence.

The NCB had joined the investigation to probe a possible drug nexus after the ED had unearthed chats involving Rhea and her brother Showik with the mention of marijuana ‘buds’. In a private WhatsApp group — including Rhea, Showik, Samuel Miranda, Dipesh Sawant — the conversation indicates revolving around drug procurement.

ED had analysed Whatsapp conversations between Rhea and the others regarding consuming weed and Cannabidiol (CBD) illegally since 2017. It summarises three conversations which point to  – illegal procurement of weed by Showik in April-May 2020, Rhea and Sushant’s talent manager Jaya Saha delivering CBD to Rhea to allegedly mix with Sushant’s coffee in November 2019 and similar such conversations about procuring weed illegally in March 2017 and April 2020.
