Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case: Rhea Chakraborty Arrested By NCB

Today, Actor Rhea Chakraborty was arrested by the NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) after 3-days of questioning in connection with drugs-related allegations in the Sushant Singh Rajput case.

According to sources, Rhea Chakraborty, who dated Sushant Singh Rajput in his final months, admitted to organizing drugs for the Bollywood star and also using them at times, during hours of questioning.

The 28-year-old actor, named as an accused in the CBI investigation into Sushant Singh Rajput's death on June 14, had denied using drugs in TV interviews.

The Narcotics Control Bureau started its inquiries based on WhatsApp chats retrieved from Rhea Chakraborty's phone, which revealed alleged conversations around procuring drugs.

As per close sources, on her second day of questioning Rhea Chakraborty made an emotional declaration. She told the Narcotics Control Bureau - "Whatever I did, I did for Sushant". Sources said the actor had then denied using drugs but had been evasive on certain questions.

The bureau claims that DipeshSawant, a member of Sushant Singh Rajput's household staff, collected and delivered a total of 165 grams of marijuana between March and June - on orders from Rhea and ShowikChakraborty.

According to Sushant Singh Rajput's family, Rhea Chakraborty exploited the actor for money, mentally harassed him, and had a role in his death.

The NCB claims to have evidence linking ShowikChakraborty and Samuel Miranda (Sushant Rajput's house manager) to the purchase of marijuana.
