The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), investigating the alleged drug syndicate linked to the death of Sushant Singh Rajput last year, arrested the actor's former manager Rishikesh Pawar on Wednesday. Officers said Pawar, who had been absconding, was arrested for procuring marijuana for the late actor during the COVID-19 lockdown. 

Pawar was produced in Killa Court which sent him to the NCB's custody till February 5. His name had surfaced during the questioning of Rajput's house help Deepesh Sawant last year.
