Sushant Singh Rajput drug case: NCB arrests two suspects from Goa, here's how the network operated
The NCB, who have kept Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik under custody, now found a Goa connection in Sushant Singh Rajput drug case and arrested two from there
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Saturday raided around seven locations in Mumbai and Goa, to find out more about the drugs angle in actor Sushant Singh Rajput's case. The agency also arrested two suspects the same day.
NCB arrested drug dealers Karamjeet and Chris Costa from Goa. During his interrogation, Karamjeet told the NCB that he had supplied drugs to Sushant about 10 times through his personal aides Deepesh Sawant and Samuel Miranda.
Costa, on the other hand, used to supply LSD to Anuj Keswani. He runs a drugs business in Goa and deals in chemical drugs.
The NCB has also been searching for a suspect named Dwayne. who allegedly supplied drugs to Sushant's house manager Deepesh Sawant and Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik in the past. We have heard that Kaizan Ibrahim is the main link between Anuj Keswani and Karamjeet. In fact, the probe conducted on Showik revealed he was in direct contact with Anuj and Dwayne.
In a related development, during her NCB probe, Rhea Chakraborty named actresses Sara Ali Khan and Rakul Preet Singh too in the drug case. She also informed that designer Simone Khambatta, Sushant's friend and former manager Rohini Iyer, and the actor's 'Dil Bechara' director Mukesh Chhabra also consumed the narcotics substances.
Rhea has revealed as many as 15 names who took drugs while being interrogated by the agency. Sources say Rhea told NCB that 80 per cent of Bollywood stars are on drugs. Reportedly, Rhea had already accepted her role in procuring drugs for Sushant and handling the finances.
It has been learnt that 15 people named by Rhea belong to B-category of actors and are now on NCB radar. Reports also stated that the NCB will summon 25 prominent Bollywood stars soon.
The drug angle in Sushant Singh Rajput's death case came to light after a leaked WhatsApp chat hinted that Rhea Chakraborty, among others, dealt in drugs. After conducting their investigation, NCB arrested Rhea's brother Showik, followed by her arrest. Sushant's house manager Dipesh Sawant and a few other drug peddlers were also taken in custody.
A Mumbai special court rejected Rhea, Showik and four other bail applications on Friday.
