As the Narcotics Control Bureau stepped in to investigate the drug angle in Sushant Singh Rajput's death case, many Bollywood celebrities came under the radar of the investigating agency. Deepika Padukone's ex-manager Karishma Prakash's name got embroiled in the controversy as one of the drug peddlers arrested by NCB reportedly mentioned her during interrogation. Later, reportedly, NCB raided Karishma's residence and seized hashish and bottles of CBD Oil. Karishma Prakash, an employee of KWAN talent management agency, then tendered her resignation. Now, the company has issued an official statement.
It reads, “Karishma Prakash tendered her resignation on 21st of October with immediate effect and it was accepted. She now has nothing to do with KWAN or with any of the artists that the agency represent including Deepika Padukone. The ongoing investigations are on Karishma Prakash as an individual .We would request media houses and reporters to incorporate this fact while reporting on this issue.”
After NCB raided Karishma's residence, reports had it that she had gone untraceable as she did not respond to the summons sent. Yesterday, news emerged that NCB has issued a new summon to Karishma Prakash.
While NCB launched a probe in Sushant Singh Rajput's death case, the investigating agency ventured into busting the alleged drug nexus existing in Bollywood. Many celebrities like Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor and others were summoned by the Narcotics Control Bureau for questioning. Deepika was in Goa when the summon was sent. She flew down to Mumbai and appeared for questioning. (Also Read:
