Bollywood-drugs Nexus: NCB Questions Deepika For Five Hours

After questioning, both Padukone and Praksh were allowed to go home around 3.40 pm, NCB sources said. Prakash first came out of the guest house, followed by Padukone.

They left in their cars separately, the police official said. Media personnel were present in large numbers outside the barricaded area near the guest house.

There were reports that Padukone’s husband and actor Ranveer Singh had asked the NCB if he could also remain present during her questioning. However, the NCB had on Friday clarified that it did not receive any such request. The NCB is also questioning actresses Shraddha Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan at its office separately in connection with the alleged drug nexus.

The federal agency had arrested actress Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik, and some suspected drug peddlers, earlier. Rajput (34) was found hanging in his apartment in suburban Bandra on June 14.
