The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is investigating the drug angle in Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput case. The agency has recently interrogated Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor over their alleged link with the Bollywood drug case.
Now, as per latest reports in the Times of India, NCB has “almost” given a clean chit to Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor, and Padukone‘s manager Karishma Prakash, said officials on Tuesday.
Deepika Padukone and Karishma Prakash on Saturday reportedly told NCB officials that in 2017 WhatsApp chats, they had used the words maal, weed, hash and doob as code names for various kinds of cigarettes “for fun”.
The two said they referred to low quality cigarettes as maal, slim and better quality ones as hash and weed, and thick ones as doob. NCB officials asked Padukone and Prakash the same set of questions in separate rooms. “We were satisfied as both corroborated the codes,” said an official.
NCB was questioning the duo over their 2017 WhatsApp chats where they had discussed certain code words and it was assumed they were discussing drugs.
