According
to
a
report
by
India
Today,
Pawar
worked
as
the
assistant
director
in
Sushant's
dream
project.
His
name
had
cropped
up
when
Sushant's
house
help
Dipesh
Sawant
was
interrogated
by
the
NCB.
Reportedly,
Dipesh
in
his
statement,
had
claimed
that
before
he
started
working
for
Sushant,
it
was
Pawar
who
delivered
drugs
to
the
actor.
Following
this,
the
NCB
had
raided
Rishikesh
Pawar's
residence
in
September
2020.
Pawar
had
approached
the
Mumbai
sessions
court
seeking
anticipatory
bail
in
drugs
case.
However,
he
went
absconding
after
the
court
rejected
his
bail.
Meanwhile,
the
NCB
has
made
multiple
arrests
in
connection
with
the
drugs
case
which
surfaced
post
Sushant's
demise
last
year.
The
actor
was
found
dead
in
his
Bandra
residence
on
June
14,
2020.
