Mumbai: After WhatsApp chats recovered from Rhea Chakraborty’s phone hinted that drugs were administered to Sushant Singh Rajput, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) started investigation in the case on Wednesday.
However, Rhea’s lawyer Satish Manshinde stated that the actress has never consumed drugs and is ready to undergo a blood test to prove it, reported NDTV.
The NCB will be investigating the case under sections in the law related to possessing, purchasing and using cannabis and “abetment and criminal conspiracy to commit an offence” under the anti-drugs law.
On Tuesday, Times Now reported that the ED team recovered WhatsApp chats between Rhea, her brother Showik Chakraborty, Sushant’s house manager Samuel Miranda and house staff Dipesh Sawant which hinted at a ‘drug angle’ in Sushant’s case.
ED has shared the messages with both CBI and NCB.
