For
the
unversed,
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
was
found
dead
in
his
Bandra
apartment
on
June
14,
2020.
While
the
Mumbai
police
confirmed
his
death
by
suicide,
the
case
took
a
shocking
turn
when
Sushant's
father
KK
Singh
registered
an
FIR
in
Patna,
against
Rhea
Chakraborty
and
her
family
members.
The
FIR
named
Rhea
Chakraborty,
her
parents,
brother
Showik,
Sushant's
former
manager
Shruti
Modi
and
Samuel
Miranda,
along
with
others.
Sushant's
father
accused
Rhea
of
mentally
harassing
his
son,
siphoning
his
funds
and
driving
him
to
take
this
drastic
step.
Following
KK
Singh's
FIR,
the
Directorate
Enforcement
(ED)
filed
a
money
laundering
case
in
connection
with
Sushant's
death
case,
and
began
their
investigations.
Amid
the
various
conspiracy
theories
floating
on
social
media
and
a
turf
war
between
the
Mumbai
police
and
Bihar
police,
the
Supreme
Court
directed
the
Central
Bureau
of
Investigation
(CBI)
to
take
over
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
case.
The
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
is
the
latest
agency
to
be
drawn
into
Sushant's
death
case
after
the
ED
stumbled
upon
a
'drug'
angle,
while
probing
the
money
laundering
angle
in
the
case.They
alerted
the
NCB
about
purported
WhatsApp
conversations
between
Rhea
and
others
regarding
drugs
like
cannabidiol,
MDMA,
LSD
and
marijuana.
The
NCB
then
filed
a
criminal
case
against
Rhea
Chakraborty,
her
brother
Showik
Chakraborty,
Jaya
Saha,
Shruti
Modi
and
Gaurav
Arya
under
sections
20,
22,
27,
and
29
of
the
NDPS
Act.
Last
week,
the
agency
arrested
Rhea's
brother
Showik
and
Sushant's
ex
house
manager
Samuel
Miranda.
