Mumbai: A team of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officials on Friday morning reached actor Rhea Chakraborty’s residence here to conduct a search in connection with its probe in the Sushant Singh Rajput case.
The houses of Rhea’s brother, Showik Chakraborty, and Samuel Miranda, who is Sushant’s former housekeeping manager, are also being searched under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, news agency ANI reported.
Miranda was appointed by Rhea in May last year to manage all the household expenses. Sushant’s family has alleged that Miranda helped Rhea in siphoning off his money and supplying drugs.
So far, NCB has arrested five people in the drugs angle in the Sushant case.
The bureau had said on Wednesday that it arrested Abdul Basit Parihar from Mumbai’s Bandra. “He had a connection with Samuel Miranda. Miranda is accused of procuring drugs on instructions of Showik Chakraborty,” ANI quoted an NCB official as saying.
NCB has also arrested Zaid Vilatra from Mumbai in connection with the case. Zaid is allegedly involved in supplying narcotics like bud or curated marijuana to high-end party circles in Mumbai.
NCB sleuths claimed he was arrested after they obtained some “vital leads” into the narcotics case registered against Rhea and others.
