In Showik's statement to NCB, he also talked about the chat messages and added, "On March 16, 2020, I on the basis of my conversation with Sushant Singh Rajput told Rhea that the actor has asked for weed and hash. Through WhatsApp chat, my sister confirmed that he used to take weed 4-5 times a day. So, I arranged 5 gram of bud, which is enough for 20 times."
Showik Claimed He Hasn't Consumed Any Narcotic Drugs
Revealing the details of the transaction he told the NCB, "Then I contacted Basit, who sent me the rates. Later, I sent it to Rhea and Samuel Miranda. I linked Basit to Miranda and Basit linked him to Zaid Vilatra (The NCB have CDR records of Zaid with Miranda on the same date). The consignment was delivered at 5 pm near Eat Around the Corner restaurant in Bandra."
Rhea Chakraborty Was Arrested On September 8
He continued to contact Basit on April 15, and March 17 after Samuel contacted him for more marijuana. Showik said that the weed was supplied to Sushant's house in bags but he wasn't aware of how much they weighed.
Along with Showik, Rhea Chakraborty, Samuel Miranda and Dipesh Sawant have also been arrested by the NCB in the drugs angle in Sushant Singh Rajput's death case. A special court is currently hearing Rhea and Showik's bail plea in Mumbai. Rhea's initial plea for bail was rejected after her arrest on September 8.
