The Narcotics Control Bureau made their first two arrests after their long process of the probe into the drug-angle related to Sushant Singh Rajput. SSR’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty’s brother Showik Chakraborty and his house manager Samuel Miranda were arrested by the NCB after raiding their residences and interrogating them for long hours. Yesterday, the Narcotics agency raided Rhea and Miranda’s house but found no drugs in their possession. Now reacting to Showik and Samuel’s arrest, SSR’s father KK Singh’s Lawyer Vikas Singh has called it a tip of the iceberg.
Speaking to ZoomTV when lawyer Vikas was asked about the two arrests that were made last night, she said, “All I want to say is that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Just imagine what all Mumbai Police is hiding from everyone and this is just the tip of the iceberg.” Earlier, Rhea's lawyer Satish Maneshinde had earlier stated that the 'drug' charge is a bailable offence. When Vikas Singh was asked about the same, he told the channel, “He says narcotics charge is a bailable offence? I don’t even know what to say then.”
Confirming Showik and Samuel’s arrest NCB Joint Director Sameer Wankhede told ANI, “We have arrested two persons, we will be producing them in the court.” While speaking to India Today, NCB Deputy Director KPS Malhotra said, “It's a procedural matter. That is what we are following. It is being done at Rhea's and Samuel Miranda's house."
