Sushant death probe: NCB mulls on filing criminal case after analysing alleged 'drug link'

ED probe into 'drug angle'

ED has analysed Whatsapp conversations between Rhea and the others regarding consuming weed and Cannabidiol (CBD) illegally since 2017. It summarises three conversations which point to  - illegal procurement of weed by Showik in April-May 2020, Saha delivering CBD to Rhea to allegedly mix with Rajput's coffee in November 2019 and similar such conversations about procuring weed illegally in March 2017 and April 2020. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has already registered a case and will probe into the case.

However the NCB's role in the case is limited as the act of using drugs has to be on certain levels of possession and consumption for it to be illegal, say sources. The ED is currently probing into the money laundering angle in the case, based on the FIR lodged by Sushant's family alleging siphoning of funds to the tune of Rs 15 crores by Rhea Chakraborty from late actor's accounts. Rhea, her brother Showik, father Indrajit and Saha have all been questioned by the ED, and as per sources.
