Narcotics Control Bureau searches Rhea Chakraborty, Samuel Miranda's residences
New Delhi : The Narcotics Control Bureau on Friday reached Rhea Chakraborty’s residence in Mumbai to conduct a search in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput case, according to news agency ANI.
The houses of Rhea’s brother, Showik Chakraborty, and Samuel Miranda, who is Rajput’s former housekeeping manager, are also being searched according to rule under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, said NCB, according to ANI.
Miranda was appointed by Rhea Chakraborty last year and he used to manage all the household expenses. Rajput’s father has alleged that Miranda helped Chakraborty in siphoning off his money and supplying drugs.
NCB has arrested five people in the drugs angle so far in relation with the case
The NCB 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,” news agency ANI quoted an NCB official.
NCB has also arrested Zaid Vilatra from Mumbai in connection with the case. Zaid is understood to be involved in the supply of narcotics like bud or curated marijuana to the high-end party circles of Mumbai, news agency PTI reported.
As per the claims he was arrested after they obtained some important leads into the narcotics case registered against Rhea Chakraborty and others, according to PTI.
The Central Bureau of Investigation is also probing the case of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death and has questioned Rhea Chakraborty and several others so far. CBI called Rhea’s father for the second round of interrogation on Wednesday. The agency had questioned Rhea Chakraborty’s parents for the first time in connection with Rajput’s death on Tuesday.
Rhea Chakraborty and her parents are among those named in the FIR registered by the Patna Police after a complaint from Sushant’s father, who has accused her of abetting his suicide and misappropriating his son’s money.
The 28-year-old actress has been questioned for around 35 hours by the CBI in the last four days.
