There are at least two angles running in tandem in terms of the NCB's investigation into the link between Bollywood and drugs. The first has to do with the probe into the drug angle in relation to the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, and the second is to do with Manjinder Singh Sirsa's complaint to the NCB about a 2019 Bollywood party from which a video had emerged. 

In terms of the former, earlier in the day, Sushant Singh Rajput's former talent manager Jaya Saha and manager Shruti Modi were summoned by the NCB in connection with the case. Meanwhile, Rhea Chakraborty had on Saturday cracked at the NCB's office admitting that she had consumed narcotics. While the actor had earlier claimed that she had only procured drugs for Sushant and his friends, she has now admitted that she did consume drugs herself. 

Rhea continues to remain in judicial custody till September 22 and is lodged at the Byculla jail
