Meanwhile, Rakul Preet Singh has left from her residence for questioning by the NCB. The De De Pyaar De actor had raised eyebrows by attempting to ‘misguide’ the officials with her locations as they tried to issue summons to her. 

She also evaded queries when probed by Republic TV at the Mumbai airport upon arrival from Hyderabad. Her residence had also been raided by the officials.

Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor are among the other celebrities to be questioned on Saturday. The former had also arrived in the city from Goa on Thursday, while the latter has maintained silence over her name being linked in the case.
