Bollywood actor Rakul Preet Singh reached the NCB office in Mumbai this morning to record her statement in a drugs probe linked to filmstar Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. She has been summoned by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) as part of its probe into alleged Bollywood-drugs nexus. Her name had cropped up during the interrogation of actress Rhea Chakraborty, Rajput’s girlfriend who has been arrested by the NCB in the drugs case along with over a dozen others.

An official said that Rakul was to record her statement yesterday, but her team had claimed she had not received summons from the NCB. NCB officials reached out to her yesterday following which she acknowledged the summons.

Besides Rakul, actor Deepika Padukone’s manager Karishma Prakash and Dharma Productions executive producer Kshitij Ravi are also slated to join the NCB investigation today. The official said that an NCB team had raided Ravi’s residence at Versova in the western suburbs yesterday. The NCB, which began the inquiry after a drugs angle came to light in connection with Rajput’s alleged suicide, has now widened its investigation and asked a clutch of Bollywood celebrities to “join the probe”.
