Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali to be summoned in drugs case

It has been reported that the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) may issue summons to these actors later this week as the agency attempts to build a case against those it has arrested.

Notably, both Shraddha and Sara Ali are former co-stars of the late actor. While Sara had debuted alongside Sushant in 2018 movie Kedarnath, Shraddha was part of his last theatrical release Chhichhore.

Sushant, a 34-year-old Bollywood star, was found dead at his apartment in Mumbai on June 14. He died by alleged suicide and had been suffering from depression and bipolar disorder, Mumbai Police had said at the time.

His family, however, contested claims of mental illness and accused his girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty of mentally harassing him, illegally taking his money, and driving him to suicide.

Rhea, a 28-year-old model and actor, who had been dating Sushant for a year, was arrested by the NCB on allegations of arranging banned drugs such as marijuana for the late actor.

Her brother Showik, two employees of Sushant, and a number of alleged drug peddlers have also been nabbed.

Rhea is currently in judicial custody of the agency until September 22.

Furthermore, the NCB has also asked Sushant's former manager Shruti Modi and his talent manager Jaya Saha to appear for questioning today.

Meanwhile, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences' (AIIMS) team of forensic experts will hold a meeting with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday, to discuss its findings in Sushant's death case.
