SushantSinghRajput Murder Mystery

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is nowhere near done in its ongoing probe into the Bollywood-drug nexus, sources have confirmed. After Rhea Chakraborty�s arrest and questioning of Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh among others, �bigger and more influential� names are likely to tumble out soon and be summoned, as per sources. The upcoming phase of the probe is likely to last for a month and will involve the biggest names in Bollywood.

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) had come into the picture after finding evidence of Rhea Chakraborty�s alleged involvement in a drug cartel when the Central Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Directorate were probing the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. Her questioning, subsequent arrest and that of her brother Showik, and Sushant�s staff like Samuel Miranda and Dipesh Sawant was part of Phase 1 of the investigation.

Phase 2 led to the emergence of stars more popular than Rhea Chakraborty, like Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan and Rakul Preet Singh all in relation to FIRs filed to do with the Sushant death case probe. The actors had been confronted with their alleged chats where they had sought drugs, and their phones have been improunded and being cloned. Employees of talent agency KWAN were also summoned, and it was their chats with the stars that led to the summons and the line of questioning on Friday and Saturday, over which no clean chits have been given.

Meanwhile, the arrival of NCB DG Rakesh Asthana in Mumbai and his meeting with officers Sameer Wankhede and Deputy Director KPS Malhotra brought out another dimension to the ongoing probe. As per sources, he has given the officers six months time to file the chargesheet. None of the actors have received a clean chit yet.
