Subramanian Swamy credits BJP for NCB's push to 'rip open' narco drug network

Earlier, names of Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor have emerged in the drug probe and sources have also informed that the agency is further probing the ownership of KWAN, a talent management agency.

The talent management agency KWAN employs Karishma Prakash - who manages Deepika Padukone - who has been summoned by the investigating agency. Currently, the NCB is interrogating KWAN CEO Dhruv Chitgopekar in connection with the drug nexus. 

With NCB's massive crackdown on the drug nexus, panic has struck the industry as sources have informed that 6 top male Bollywood actors have called their lawyers to discuss the future course. The actors, who are said to be in a panic, have sought legal advice in case their names crop up or they face summoning.
