Dipesh's arrest happened a day after Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik Chakraborty and Sushant's ex house manager Samuel Miranda were arrested by the NCB, which is investigating the 'drug angle' in Sushant Singh Rajput's death case.

Dipesh was summoned for questioning by the NCB on late Friday evening after the arrests of Showik and Samuel. According to Times Now's sources, the NCB felt Dipesh must have had some critical information as he was always around Sushant.

Dipesh has also been questioned by the CBI multiple times, in the course of Sushant's death investigation.

Three agencies, NCB, CBI and ED (Enforcement Directorate) are investigating Sushant's case. However, the arrests of Showik, Samuel and maybe even Dipesh are said to be in connection with another case that the NCB has registered.

Showik and Samuel were arrested under the following sections of the Narcotic Drugs And Psychotropic Substances (NDPC) Act: Sections 20(B), 28, 29 and 27(A).

The NCB joined the investigations after allegations of substance abuse came up in connection with Sushant's death.
