Rakul Preet Singh Questioned By NCB In Drugs Case

She had been summoned by the NCB as part of its probe into alleged Bollywood-drugs nexus. Her name had cropped up during the interrogation of actress Rhea Chakraborty, Rajput’s girlfriend who has been arrested along with over a dozen others, the official said.

An NCB team had raided Ravi’s residence in Versova in the western suburbs on Thursday, but he was out of town. The NCB, which began the inquiry after a drugs angle came to light in connection with Rajput’s alleged suicide, has now widened its investigation and asked a clutch of Bollywood celebrities to “join the probe”.

Padukone, alongwith fellow actors Shraddha Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan are slated to record statements at NCB office on Saturday. Rajput (34) was found hanging in his apartment in suburban Bandra on June 14.
