The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) which is investigating the drugs angle in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, has an eye on Bollywood and the alleged rave parties here. The NCB has contacted all its informers for the investigation, and due to this many drug peddlers have allegedly gone underground. An NCB official said that there are around 400 drug peddlers across Mumbai.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had recovered a WhatsApp chat from Rhea Chakraborty's mobile, which was about drugs. Neeraj, an employee of Rajput, had also said in his statement that he had put drugs into Rajput's cigarette. After this the ED wrote a letter to the NCB asking them to investigate the drugs angle. The WhatsApp chat showed that Chakraborty was communicating with Goa-based hotelier Gaurav Aarya about drugs. Hence he was called to Mumbai and questioned by the ED on Monday.
