Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has arrested Dipesh Sawant, a member of Sushant Singh Rajput’s personal staff, in connection with a drugs probe linked to the actor’s death. With this, the total number of people arrested in this case has risen to six. The officials said, Dipesh Sawant, who was being questioned since Saturday morning, has been arrested under sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. A senior NCB officer had earlier said that Sawant’s role was that of a witness in the case.

The federal anti-narcotics agency had on Friday arrested Showik Chakraborty, the brother of main accused in this case, Rhea Chakraborty, and Samuel Miranda, Rajput’s house manager.

Various angles surrounding the death of the 34-year-old actor are being probed by three federal agencies, including the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and CBI.
