The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) investigating an alleged drug syndicate in Bollywood related to actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death has suspended two of its officers pending enquiry. "Two officers investigating the drug syndicate in Mumbai have been suspended for negligence and lacunae in Bharti Singh's and Karishma Prakash's cases. The public prosecutor's role is also under the scanner," a senior NCB officer said.

Officer Pankaj Kumar, handling Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiya's case, was suspended for not appearing for their bail application at the Killa court on November 23. His absence was reported by mid-day. Public prosecutor Atul Sarpande, the common link in both case, is also being probed.
