Mumbai: In yet another turn to the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Wednesday arrested an alleged contraband dealer. He is said to have links with the drug trafficking case pertaining to the actor’s death, The New Indian Express (TNIE) reported quoting PTI.
It is believed that Zaid, the dealer is involved in the supply of narcotics like ‘bud’ or curated marijuana to the high-end party circles of Mumbai. The price of good quality bud is about Rs 5,000 per gram, the report quoted NCB officials as saying.
According to the agency, Zaid was arrested on the basis of some vital leads into the narcotics case registered against Rajput’s live-in partner Rhea Chakraborty and others.
The leads against Zaid came after questioning two men who were arrested by the agency last week. More such operators based in Maharashtra, Delhi and Goa are under the scanner of the agency, the report added.
A special NCB team from Delhi, headed by deputy director (operations) K P S Malhotra, is in Mumbai to take forward this probe.
The team also includes agency officers from Mumbai and has been constituted by NCB Director General Rakesh Asthana, the report said.
