The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is still investigating the drug angle following the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. So far, the investigating agency has made arrests and also summoned many for their alleged involvement in the case, including top Bollywood celebrities. In a significant development in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, as per reports in the Indianexpress.com, the NCB recently searched the house of Deepika Padukone’s manager in connection to the drug probe. This comes after it was reported that Padukone’s manager is summoned for questioning once again.
According to the report, an NCB official revealed that they raided the Versova residence of actor Deepika Padukone’s manager Karishma Prakash, on Tuesday, and claimed to have found illegal narcotics substances. The official said, “Prakash’s name cropped up during the questioning of one of the paddlers arrested by us in the case in which we are looking to bust drug networks around Bollywood, Based on the information, we raided her residence today. We found 1.7 grams of charas and at least two bottles of CBD oil.”

Meanwhile, the official added that while Karishma Prakash has violated sections of the NDPS Act, she will be given a chance to defend herself before the NCB takes the decision to add her name in the FIR. On the other hand, Prakash was earlier questioned, when Deepika Padukone too had recorded her statement with the NCB last month.
