Actor Rakul Preet Singh was recently questioned for four hours in Mumbai today in a drugs case linked to actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. She was to be questioned by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) yesterday, but it was deferred to today after she claimed she had not received the alleged summons.
NCB Director General Mutha Ashok Jain said: “Rakul Preet Singh’s statement was recorded by the SIT (special investigation team) today. It will be analysed and produced before court.”
Actor Deepika Padukone will be questioned tomorrow. Her manager, Karishma Prakash, was interrogated today and she is likely to be called again tomorrow. Karishma Prakash’s questioning went on for much longer than Rakul Preet Singh’s, which lasted four hours, sources said.
The NCB questioned Rakul Preet Singh and Karishma Prakash about the contents of WhatsApp chat which allegedly indicated marijuana was bought for consumption.
The NCB says its probe is aimed at catching drug suppliers, but it is looking at how these suppliers networked and who their clients were.
