As per sources, Jaya Saha feigned ignorance when confronted with the chats with Rhea, who is already under NCB custody till October 6. She claimed that ‘doobies’ and buds’ were not terms for curated marijuana, but terms used for cigarettes by 'high society'.

Karishma Prakash, on the other hand, was confronted with her chats with alleged drug peddler Anuj Keswani, where she stated that ‘hash’ was not a drug. She was also questioned about other employees of KWAN, the talent management agency that manages Deepika Padukone. Karishma Prakash was asked if there were other employees who could be involved in procuring and transporting of drugs to other Bollywood celebrities.

Both Jaya Saha and Karishma Prakash have been questioned on multiple occasions by the NCB. The former’s chats with Deepika Padukone and Karishma from October 2017, where the actor asked for ‘maal’ and ‘hash’ has become a huge talking point. These chats are the trigger point in the probe by NCB as Deepika and Karishma were both being questioned by the NCB on Saturday.

The alleged chats had taken place on the group named ‘DP+Ka+KWAN’ where Deepika was also the admin. Another KWAN employee, Dhruv Chirgopekar, has also been questioned by the agency.
