The
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
arrested
Rhea
Chakraborty's
brother
Showik
Chakraborty
on
Friday,
September
4,
2020.
The
NCB
is
investigating
the
'drug
angle'
in
the
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
death
case.
NCB
Deputy
Director
KPS
Malhotra
has
confirmed
the
arrests.
The
investigations
are
taking
place
under
Sections
20B,
28
&
29,
while
27A
was
added
later.
He
denied
that
Rhea
has
been
issued
a
summons.
The
NCB
stepped
into
the
probe
of
Sushant's
death
when
the
Enforcement
Directorate,
which
is
probing
the
'money
laundering'
angle,
found
evidence
allegedly
linking
Rhea
to
banned
drugs.
Earlier
in
the
day,
the
NCB
raided
Showik's
and
Sushant's
ex
manager
Samuel
Miranda's
house.
According
to
reports,
Samuel
has
been
arrested
too.
Both
of
them
were
summoned
for
enquiry
at
NCB
office
after
the
raid.
Sushant's
death
is
being
investigated
by
three
different
agencies-
NCB,
CBI
and
ED.
In
late
July,
Sushant's
father
KK
Singh
had
registered
an
FIR
with
the
Patna
police
against
Rhea
Chakraborty
and
her
family
members,
including
brother
Showik,
father
Indrajit
Chakraborty
and
mother,
and
two
others.
The
FIR
made
allegations
of
abetment
to
suicide,
fraud,
theft,
and
more.
Recent
chats
between
Showik
and
a
drug
peddler
allegedly
revealed
that
Showik
was
sourcing
drugs
for
his
father.
The
NCB
arrested
Basit
Parihar,
a
Bandra
resident,
in
connection
with
this
case,
on
Thursday.
News
reports
had
quoted
a
senior
NCB
official
as
saying,
"Parihar
was
arrested
late
night
and
we
will
produce
him
before
a
magistrate
court
in
the
afternoon.
Some
evidence
has
been
collected
from
the
house
of
Miranda
and
Showik
during
the
searches
conducted.
But
the
investigation
is
at
a
very
preliminary
stage
and
details
of
the
evidence
gathered
from
their
residence
cannot
be
revealed
at
the
moment."
Although
the
NCB
is
investigating
the
drug
angle
of
Sushant's
case,
this
investigation
is
a
result
of
a
different
case
registered
by
it.
