After being summoned by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Deepika Padukone left from Goa for Mumbai. The actor was joined by her husband and actor Ranveer Singh and they were seen arriving at the Panaji airport. Deepika headed to Goa for the shoot of Shakun Batra's upcoming directorial alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday. There were reports that the actor will be travelling in a charter plane from Goa to Mumbai. However, not at 1:30 pm, Deepika and Ranveer were seen during evening hours on Thursday at Goa airport.
As per IANS, Deepika was staying at the five-star resort in North Goa's Sinquerim beach village. Before leaving for Mumbai, Deepika also met members from her legal team at the resort, sources said.
The sudden dash to Mumbai comes in wake of the Narcotics Control Bureau probe, in which a 2017 WhatsApp message allegedly between the actress and her talent manager Karishma Prakash surfaced where the duo was reportedly discussing banned substances. Prakash is a colleague of Jaya Saha at KWAN. Saha has been questioned by all federal agencies in the Sushant probe and is one of the main accused in the FIR filed by the late actor's father.
Deepika has been formally summoned to appear before the NCB officials in Mumbai, on September 26, 2020.
Sara Ali Khan, also summoned by NCB was also holidaying in Goa and has left for Mumbai on Thursday. She was seen with mother Amrita Singh and brother Ibrahim Ali Khan while leaving Goa and arriving at the Mumbai airport.
