Crying ‘witch-hunt’ and resigned to the possibility of arrest, actress Rhea Chakraborty appeared at the Narcotics Control Bureau office in connection with the probe into the drugs angle clouding the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, on Sunday morning. A team of NCB had come to pick her up from her home, but the 28-year-old actress reportedly declined the lift and decided to go separately for her interrogation. 

The development came a day after a Mumbai Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate at the Esplanade Court remanded Rhea’s brother Showik Chakraborty and Sushant’s home manager Samuel Miranda to NCB custody for 4 days till September 9.

According to the NCB, Showik will be confronted with his sister who will be summoned for questioning on today. Meanwhile, NCB arrested Sushant Singh Rajput’s personal staff Dipesh Sawant in a drug-related case in connection with the late actor’s death. 

The NCB had registered a case on August 26 under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, naming Rhea, her brother, talent manager Jaya Saha, Sushant’s co-manager Shruti Modi, and Goa-based hotelier Gaurav Arya, after the Enforcement Directorate wrote to it about the drugs angle.
