Earlier
this
week,
Ananya
Panday
was
called
by
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
for
questioning
in
the
Mumbai
cruise
ship
drugs
case.
According
to
reports,
the
actress
has
also
been
summoned
for
the
first
time
by
the
NCB
on
Monday,
(October
25).
The
deputy
director-general
of
the
NCB,
Ashok
Mutha
Jain,
recently
opened
up
about
the
case.
He
told
Free
Press
Journal
that
Ananya
has
been
called
for
questioning
again
as
"we
are
not
yet
done
inquiring
with
her."
Talking
about
the
reports
claiming
NCB
found
WhatsApp
conversations
between
Aryan
Khan
and
Panday
wherein
they
were
allegedly
discussing
drugs,
Jain
said,
"No
speculation
should
be
made
as
far
as
the
inquiries
and
investigations
of
the
case
is
concerned
and
all
the
facts
of
the
case
will
be
shared
with
the
court
in
due
course
of
time."
Reports
have
now
claimed
that
there
is
"no
evidence
of
any
'drug-related
exchanges'
in
Panday's
alleged
WhatsApp
chats
with
Aryan
Khan."
Source
reportedly
also
told
the
portal
that
there
were
"no
traces
or
references"
to
ganja
or
weed
in
the
WhatsApp
communication
between
the
two
stars.
Meanwhile,
an
ANI
report
has
quoted
an
NCB
source
saying
that
Ananya's
name
came
up
in
the
WhatsApp
chats
several
times.
The
report
said,
"The
name
of
Ananya
Panday
has
come
up
in
a
chat
which
reveals
she
supplied
weed
to
Aryan
thrice
including
one
at
a
popular
get-together.
We
have
seized
both
phones
of
Ananya
Panday,
which
includes
an
old
handset
as
well
as
the
phone
she
purchased
a
few
months
ago.
The
phones
have
been
seized
to
check
evidence
tampering."
Notably,
a
team
of
NCB
officials
had
visited
Panday's
Mumbai
residence
and
had
carried
out
searches.
Reportedly
the
agency
also
seized
her
phone
and
laptop
during
the
raid.
Panday
was
accompanied
by
her
father,
actor
Chunky
Panday
when
summoned
to
the
NCB
office
at
Ballard
Estate.
