As per the recent updates by the official, NCB has “almost” given a clean chit to actors Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, and Padukone’s manager Karishma Prakash.

Padukone and Prakash told NCB an official that in 2017 WhatsApp chats; they had used the words maal, hash, weed, and doob as code names for various types of cigarettes “for fun”. Deepika and her manager said that they referred to low-quality cigarettes as maal, and better quality one as hash and weed, and thick ones as doob.

NCB officials asked Deepika Padukone and her manager the same set of questions in separate rooms. “We were satisfied as both corroborated the codes,” said an official. NCB was questioning the duo over their 2017 WhatsApp chats where they had discussed certain code words and it was assumed they were discussing drugs.

On the other hand, Kshitij Prasad associated with a production house has been arrested by the NCB. As the NCB continues to probe the drug-link in the death case of Actor Sushant Singh Rajput, his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty continues to stay in judicial custody. The Bombay High Court till September 29 deferred the hearing of Rhea and her brother Showik Chakraborty’s bail plea.
